www.youtube.com English

First video on writing code with LLMs I’ve seen that is actually sensible, is well aware of limitations of LLMs, and gives solid advice.

      I prefer talking to my rubber ducky because I can tell they are a true professional. They are not giving you any feedback unless they are absolutly certain it works.

        I wouldn’t give my rubber duck access to my system and then cry on twitter when he deletes my filesystem.

                These are just the first two I could find, but there are plenty of similar stories that have passed by.

                The only difference is that the duck doesn’t consume the water of a small county and more electric than needed to put a man on the moon.

                Also ducks aren’t easily prompted to generate CP.
