SpreadsheetLLM – Microsoft's new AI system

If you’ve used CoPilot in VSCode, you understand the satisfaction of feeling like an LLM is thinking one step ahead of you.

Tried it once. Didn't get "satisfaction"; instead felt deeply irritated by the "backseat driver". Maybe it works better if you're just churning out mediocre boilerplate.

I’m churning out mediocre boilerplate here and it’s working great! Managing to build things crazy fast.

Yeah, for me it feels, as a proposition, and having used it briefly before turning it off, like “what if you could pair program with an ultra-confident, yet dangerously incompetent, intern, forever”?

… with unlimited stamina, patience and capacity for negative feedback. If it was forever, you’d probably learn to take advantage of that resource!

Like any tool, you need to learn how to use it and iterate with it. Trying it once is not enough.
