From Detailed Queries to Watching Code Work: The New Efficiency of LLMs | April 26 2025, 14:39

I caught myself feeling that after spending half an hour articulating a complex query to an LLM, detailing what set of scripts to prepare, what must not be forgotten, what technologies to employ, what checks to anticipate, essentially crafting a detailed specification, and then hitting submit, I just want to lean back, place my hands behind my head, and watch it work for me. Because all that work would normally take me a full day, at least. Now, I’ll still spend a day, but rather on reviewing code, removing stupid comments like “# incrementing a”, understanding and occasionally restructuring the code. But there’s this pleasure, you see, in explaining well, and this thing understanding you well—it’s quite a new sensation.
