It's funny always seeing comments like this. I call them "skill issue" comments.

The reality is the author very much understands what's available today. Zed, after all, is building out a lot of AI-focused features in its editor and that includes leveraging SOTA LLMs.

> It's certainly not perfect but it works about as well, if not better, than a human junior engineer. Sometimes it can't solve a bug, but human junior engineers get in the same situation too.

I wonder if comments like this are more of a reflection on how bad the hiring pool was even a few years ago than a reflection of how capable LLMs are. I would be distraught if I hired a junior eng with less wherewithal and capabilities than Sonnet 3.7.

This is a very friendly and cordial response. Given that the parent comment was implying that the creators of Zed don't actually know how to build software. Based on their credentials building Rails crud apps, I suppose.

It's funny always seeing comments like this. I call them "humans are perfect" comments.

We just assume that all human devs are good. I have met so many that reason like a wet paper bag. Arguably having a smaller context window than current LLM. I have seen and used so many buggy software written by humans, that I find it absurd that we expect LLMs to be perfect. If humans are "the standard" for intelligence, then there is no hope for these automated systems.
