Conversation: LLMs and Building Abstractions
Unmesh and Martin exchanged some emails about building abstractions while working with an LLM. They talk about the influence of Brooks's framing of essential and accidental complexity, and how this carries over to thinking of programming as both growing and applying abstractions. An LLM is useful in both modes of working, but has to be used differently. We can't reduce growing abstractions to a st
