There are many choices of LLMs out there, many that are focused on writing code. But a lot of them provide wrong or incorrect answers. Some of this will cause more work for maintainers as increasingly these LLMs are being used to submit pull or merge requests.

This talk is about how LLMs can be useful in lowering the barriers in writing applications especially at a time when projects are resource starved. We need guardrails on where LLMs are useful and where it is not. Sri walks through his experiments with LLMs and where he found LLMs to be useful and where it isn't.
