How I program with LLMs(crawshaw.io)

   I am doing a particular kind of programming, product development, which could be roughly described as trying to bring programs to a user through a robust interface. That means I am building a lot, throwing away a lot, and bouncing around between environments. Some days I mostly write typescript, some days mostly Go. I spent a week in a C++ codebase last month exploring an idea, and just had an opportunity to learn the HTTP server-side events format. I am all over the place, constantly forgetting and relearning.

  If you spend more time proving your optimization of a cryptographic algorithm is not vulnerable to timing attacks than you do writing the code, I don't think any of my observations here are going to be useful to you.

    def validate_credentials(self, username, password):
        if username == "admin" and password == "password":
            return True
        return False

    def login(self, username, password):
        if self.validate_credentials(username, password):
            return "Welcome!"
        else:
            return "Invalid credentials, please try again."
