This sort of comment always fascinates me. Having a machine do the last leaps for you is a time saver I guess, but I often wonder whether the real thing people are discovering again is that sitting down and really thinking about the problem you're trying to solve before writing some code results in better solutions when you get to it.

its not that i havent spent time thinking about it - i at least still my thinking first mostly on paper.

the LLM however asks me clarifying questions that i wouldnt have thought about myself. the thinking is a step or two deeper than it was before, if the LLM comes up with good questions

They wouldn’t have thought more deeply about it if the model didn’t „tell” them to.
