It's nicely symmetrical, because conversely I prefer my LLM-generated code to have no dependencies.

How do you get your code to the point where it has no dependencies? How do you do any sort of database writing without a library, or web access without sockets from an os library?

What sort of code has no dependencies? I'm now very curious as I can't see how you can do anything without altest including the std lib from your OS to do any file i/o.

You mean aside from previous work it was trained on?

It's March 18th, 2087, npm and conda are considered crimes against humanity in 23 countries...

Bingo.

These days, my only deps are TinyUSB and LVGL - stuff that would be completely pointless and absurd to recreate.

It isn't your code, it is stolen.

  • I guess code you get from a book too? Or learning it, and typing it out after you've mastered a particular algorithm?

    (FYI I'm not disputing that the LLM vendors didn't steal, that doesn't mean the technology is shit)
