Ask HN: Become a 10x developer with LLM? Myth? Reality?
It gives me faster access to documentation&#x2F;Stackoverflow, and creates bespoke templates. So I am &quot;10x&quot; but for the most tedious parts of &quot;copy&#x2F;paste&quot; development. For the hard parts or the time spent thinking about design&#x2F;flow, it does basically nothing. So am I &quot;10x&quot; overall? Absolutely not. I am barely even &quot;2x&quot; relative to before (since this is a minority of my time).<p>For example (ChatGPT):<p>- Prompt:<p><pre><code>     Create a HTML select list with the following text values: &quot;First In, Last Out&quot;, &quot;Last In, First Out&quot;, &quot;Random Order&quot;, &quot;Round-Robin&quot; give each option and the select list appropriate names and IDs.
</code></pre>
- Result:<p><pre><code>     &lt;select name=&quot;order&quot; id=&quot;order&quot;&gt;
       &lt;option value=&quot;fifo&quot;&gt;First In, Last Out&lt;&#x2F;option&gt;
       &lt;option value=&quot;lifo&quot;&gt;Last In, First Out&lt;&#x2F;option&gt;
       &lt;option value=&quot;random&quot;&gt;Random Order&lt;&#x2F;option&gt;
       &lt;option value=&quot;round-robin&quot;&gt;Round-Robin&lt;&#x2F;option&gt;
     &lt;&#x2F;select&gt;
</code></pre>
Keep in mind if I hand-wrote this I still have to write out the text-values which are 50% of the prompt&#x27;s length. It did the names&#x2F;IDs and the boilerplate.
