Ask HN: How often do you settle technical debates with LLMs?

1•GMoromisato•6mo ago
I'm curious whether/how LLMs have changed technical debates inside dev teams.

Do you find that an LLM's opinion on a technical debate is influential in the team? Is anyone swayed by it? Do you use an LLM to help form your technical arguments (to fact-find, etc. not necessarily to write the argument for you). Do you find LLMs opinionated enough to weigh in, or do they just recap the pros and cons? Have you seen other changes in team dynamics due to LLMs?

I settle debates by finding all the bugs in the generated code.

I treat it like a new intern who just started that day.

When I see a bug, I tell it and it often fixes it.

So I don't know if I would be super impressed with the generated code being fixed; I'd be curious why someone would expect any code to be perfect and not improvable.

I use a meeting-minder that is LLM-backed. We use it specifically to avoid pro/con bedlam in meetings with opinionated and excellent engineers and devs who think they have the right answer, but we need to settle and support one.

The LLM-led pro/con discussion has been extremely helpful to curtail individuals in meetings from taking over a discussion when pros and cons come up, which has helped reign in some valued and valuable but ... sometimes unhelpful teammates.
