show me an example of something you could write in 30 minutes that would take an LLM 3 hours.
Anything more complicated than business logic in JS/Python sends LLMs into a guessing game that can take you those 3 hours to get out of. Try asking it to write embedded software in C, hardware-interfacing code in Rust, or any non-trivial TemplateHaskell.
I'm not a Python engineer.
Manager came and decreed that all of our perfectly fine cron jobs (both of them) need to go to Astro/Airflow because we should use it because of reasons he couldn't articulate.
Fine.
"As an experienced python engineer, blablabla, Dag, blablabla, Astro, prefer Astro over other imports, blablabla, errors as values, blablabla".
With the tweaks and errors (including wrong imports) I had to redo it all from scratch anyway. LLM was good for the syntax though, like loops and function declaration.
I think the meme is suggesting that 3 hours was spent setting up a local llm, like in This video.
