LLMs are explosively valuable in the domain of code.

· Bits and Bobs 5/4/26
  • LLMs are explosively valuable in the domain of code.
    • Is it because code is the first domain to explode… or is there something about LLMs being a perfect fit for that domain?
      • Is code a harbinger of what's to come or just an odd domain that happens to fit better than other domains ever will?
    • Code is trivial to check if the output is valuable.
      • If it doesn't compile, revert.
      • It can also be executed and have its pixel output critiqued by another agent.
      • No humans necessary in the loop!
      • The loop can be closed with no humans in it.
      • The downstream cost of correction is significantly lowered by that feedback loop.
      • Compare to, for example, law, where you won't know for possibly decades if a given choice will work or not.
