Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

You need an expertise to tell where the error is happening or even notice it at all.
The main argument against LLMs is that you don't get a systemic knowledge how e.g. the code works. Moreso, as long as it works right, you aren't motivated to look into it and understand just how it does so. That renders you unable to see and fix mistakes.
If you are an experienced task-doer, yes, a quick glance can help you with that. But if you start out with LLM vibe-coding, you jump over a couple of steps, and when confronted with an error, you need to apply more force (learning things you skipped) to make it right.
Personally, I grew seriously ill when we had math classes concerning sin\cos\tg\ctg basics and going forward I felt I just don't get it at all as the class marched towards further subjects based on them. It costed me way more labor to get on the same page than if I've never been absent. The same could've happened, I believe, if I could upload my homework into LLM, only to face exams where I can't use it anymore, or if I came upon real life applications - and surprisingly I did.
