baxtr | on: The foolishness of "natural language programming" (1978)
On a related note: I’d say that in 90% of all use-cases talking to LLMs to create code is the right approach.

As opposed to creating flows where LLMs do something on the fly.

Code creates determinism, LLMs don’t.

This is the bet I'm making with Croft. LLMs to figure out the messy bits but once it's figured it, software is the better tool. Let the LLM write the software.

This is what software engineers do but just more expensive and time consuming.

"The first 90% of the code accounts for the first 90% of development time; the remaining 10% accounts for the other 90%."

You can do 90% in 1% of the time. The last 10% takes 99% of the time.
