Ask Lemmygrad

I use it as a smart search tool. Whenever I want to do some exploring, or don't remember a particular syntax, I use it. The output is usually 70% good, for simple things it works, most of the time it needs some tweaking, a few times it's completely wrong. It's interesting that when a problem is impossible to solve with a given approach, the LLM usually gives a wrong answer that seems to be correct.

So I think it's a time saver for simple things, but it does not appear to me to be this revolutionary new tool. Although I use it, some days I completely forget about it. The advantage or disadvantage of having a legacy and non traditional code base to maintain is that the promised gains the tool provides are very minimal. But managers seem so bewitched about the tool, and I most of the time can't get the hype. I genuinely don't understand, and it seems to me that people are allucinating about it to a point that people seem to have lost their touch with reality.

The consequences I came to face as well. I feel overloaded and burnt out at work. If AI could do the work I'm doing today, I'd be glad to use it. If the CTO of the company does not worry about quality why the hell should I care, I'm not getting the stock bonus and it's not my capital that is being increased in the process. The problem is lacking the bonus that AI promises while having to deal with the onus of having to deal with difficult timelines, impossible requirements, unreasonable PMs... Nowadays I hate working so much that sometimes I think about being laid off and even like the idea. I just don't quit because I have a family to provide for.
