Guiding an LLM for Robust Java ByteBuffer Code

AI editors like Cursor can generate code with remarkable speed using LLMs, handling boilerplate and providing functional snippets for various tasks. However, when building robust systems, functional correctness is only the starting point. Code must also be safe, predictable, maintainable, and free from subtle side effects. Unmesh Joshi demonstrates, through a dialogue between a developer and an LLM, how expert guidance is crucial to transform an initial, potentially unsafe code snippet into a robust, system-ready component. more…
