There are a bunch of stupid behaviors of LLM coding that will be fixed by more awareness pretty soon. Imagine putting the docs and code for all of your libraries into the context window so it can understand what exceptions might be thrown!

Copilot and the likes have been around for 4 years, and we’ve been hearing this all along. I’m bullish on LLM assistants (not vibe coding) but I’d love to see some of these things actually start to happen.

I feel like it has gotten better over time, but I don't have any metrics to confirm this. And it may also depend on what type of you language/libraries that you use.

I feel like there was a huge jump when cursor et al appeared, and things have been “changing” since then rather than improving.

It just feels to me like trying to derive correct behavior without a proper spec so I don't see how it'll get that much better. Maybe we'll collectively remove the pathological code but otherwise I'm not seeing it.
