> LLMs are tools. If you master your tools, you become more productive.

LLMs are unpredictable tools which change all the time, let’s not pretend otherwise. You can’t “master” them in the same way as previous tools. You can learn some tricks to trick them to be closer to what you want, and that’s about it.

Imagine if every time you did the exact same movement to hammer a nail, you had to check your work. Maybe this time it hammered it in perfectly, or maybe it smashed your finger, or maybe it only went half-way through. You could never develop muscle memory for such a tool. You could use it, sure, but never master it.

I didn't say they were perfect tools; quite the opposite actually.

It seems I'm getting better and better results over time. I think you want this to be true but that doesn't make it true.
