It's hot girl summer!!!! So do your girl a favor and bring her a nice cup of iced water and make sure she's not overheating and dehydrated

The needle has been moving away from purely hand-authored code for many decades now. That includes code generation, code verification, etc etc. We've just been using and developing tools that are actually good at this, and that's still a more worthwhile direction than LLMs, which will NEVER be good
