  • Cool I’ll just try and find which book i need to read it from the millions and millions of books.

    I haven’t got an issue with reading books and whatnot. For coding specifically I always prefer to read documentation. But if I don’t know what is needed for my current use case and search isn’t helping. I’m not going to know where to begin. LLMs at least give me a jumping off point. They are not my be all and end all.

    Discoverability of new tools and libraries via search is awful. Through LLMs, it’s passable to point you in the right direction.




  • I’ve been finding it a lot harder recently to find what I’m looking for when it comes to coding knowledge on search engines. I feel with an llm i can give it the wider context and it figures it exactly the sort of things I’m trying to find. Even more useful with trying to understand a complex error message you haven’t seen before.

    That being said. LLMs are not where my searching ends. I check to see where it got the information from so I can read the actual truth and not what it has conjured up.



  • I just finished 1 for the first time in a very long time. I really enjoyed its simplicity and wish we got that gameplay loop again but with the mechanics of at least 2

    Currently playing bloodlines before moving onto 2.

    I think looking back, I really enjoyed brotherhood the most, but I also think my time with its multiplayer is giving me rose tinted glasses. Revelations’ ending is my favourite of all of them and I still think of it to this day.

    I also don’t think 3 is as bad as everyone says. I really enjoyed Connors story and climbing trees, but desmonds end makes me resent the game somewhat, especially since to me that marked the end of my interest in the series. Playing through 4 confirmed it because after that I didn’t play anymore due to it feeling like there was no overarching story to keep me wanting anymore.
