Comment on Ask HN: Have you used LLMs to reinvigorate you niche programming community?

Comments

No, I've found that LLMs are only effective on popular stacks. On niche stacks or legacy stacks, you get back code that doesn't even run - syntax pulled from other languages, object models and APIs from stacks that are not the one you are running, etc.

That's disappointing, but I had wondered about that. I haven't had that issue for single scripts and I was hoping it would scale.
