Do you have to give any special instructions to do this? I always want to do something like this, but any time I try I get so sick of listening to what it has to say, just long winded explanations of stuff that tends to go off the rails. Imo it's hard enough to read ai output when I can go back and forward between sentences to make sense of what's being said let alone listen to a continuous train of slop.
The latest ChatGPT voice mode is really good at being interrupted - I'll often say "no, no, no, that's too much information" while it's talking to stop and redirect it.
It's not really possible. It's akin to saying simplify multiplying large numbers or long division. It can be sometimes done by having a heap of tricks up your sleeve, by practicing a bunch you might get better at guessing which trick to use when. The usefulness of knowing these tricks and recognising when to use them is entirely dependent on your motivations.
I love these! “Not Quite the Same” sounds a lot like “The Wrong Abstraction” from my list. It’s a really important point and I’m glad to see there are more articles about it!
Yep, I have the wrong abstraction on my list as well. There's a couple on ratfactor that really hit the same point home.
I think the lwn article on "the midlayer mistake" is somewhat the same point but to a different extreme, and in some ways libraries not frameworks too.
