8 days agoSounds about right, I had a positive experience when I told my local LLM to refactor a function and add a single argument.
I would not dare letting it loose on a whole source file, because it changes random things giving you more code to review.
In my view current LLM’s do a acceptable job with:
- Adding comments
- Writing docstrings
- Writing git commit messages
- Simple tasks on small pieces of code

They need to keep it running 24/7 because the startup price is much higher than letting it run.
