Today, I spent three hours studying the API and finding the relevant calls. I had a fully functional Python script running in 30 minutes and the task completed two hours later.
... THOSE are the parts you're supposed to use AI with
It's like you just posted on stackoverflow for a fully working solution then gave up because nothing you copy pasted works right. It's about the dumbest possible way to use an information tool.
Treat AI like an information index, just like SO, just like a search engine, it's that kind of tool. It's a very, very good index that sometimes points at exactly what you asked for but you still search, read, integrate, repeat. What you tried and failed to do, vibe coding, is like irresponsibly farming your work out to an intern. Go ahead and try that. You get the results you deserve and it doesn't make the intern useless, you're using them wrong. No, it doesn't replace you, that's not how you use it.
Right. We also don't even know what he did.
E.g. did he even give the LLMs the API documentation, or point them to it? Or did he just expect the magic 8 ball to spit out the right answer from the ether? Did he give the LLM a sample implementation, even if in some other language?
I see so many smug posts from people who don't even know that they are just saying "I don't know how to use LLMs".
