How are you staying up-to-date with the latest on LLM-assisted coding?


There's a flood of information out there around ChatGPT, Copilot, etc. and how they can be used for coding, and it's been hard to keep up with the breakneck pace of discoveries and new techniques.

A lot of the easily discoverable stuff around coding with LLMs is more content-marketing, surface level information. Where are people finding high quality discussions on the current strengths and limitations of prompt engineering or similar topics? Are these conversations happening on Twitter? Mastodon? Communities on Discord?

I've tried using ChatGPT for coding, and even when the scope of the question is small, I often get wrong answers. This is very different form the many anecdotes I've read, including on this site of people who have used these type of tools to code non-trivial apps and services. Are these people building in public? I'd love to see how they work and what techniques they recommend currently, but I'm not sure where they hang out or how to discover them. I'd prefer to follow content that is more technical in nature vs someone who is good at marketing and is mostly using the LLM hype train to attract views.

I ignore the noise and watch what bubbles to the top. There's a lot of overlap between services, too, so it doesn't matter as much.
