Software Development Workflow with LLM
Prior to 2025, I was still using " Ancient-style programming ," insisting on typing out all the code manually. I don't trust LLM-generated code. I don't think it can fully understand my requirements and generate the code I actually want. But in early 2026, I tried letting AI handle a simple request for me: "change the memory space allocated after a page fault from 4KB to 2MB in the kernel." The AI handled the task I gave it very well, completing it quickly and effectively. I realized it was time to make some changes. In the first half of 2026, I used AI to generate code for just about everything and rarely wrote anything by hand anymore, whether it was complex or simple. My approach is simple: "prompt and pray." I write a prompt (sometimes I even have the AI help write the prompt), then pray that the AI generates correct, runnable code. The AI did an excellent job, generating a lot of beautiful code. It could accomplish in a single day what would t...
