LLMs also have encyclopedic knowledge. Several times LLMs have found some huge block of code I wrote and reduced it down to a few lines. The other day they removed several thousand lines of brittle code I wrote previously for some API calls with a well-tested package I didn't know about. Literally thousands down to dozens.

My code is constantly shrinking, becoming better quality, more performant, more best-practice on a daily basis. And I'm learning like crazy. I'm constantly looking up changes it recommends to see why and what the reasons are behind them.

It can be a big damned dummy too, though. Just today it was proposing a massive server-side script to workaround an issue with my app I was deploying, when the actual solution was to just make a simple one-line change to the app. ("You're absolutely right!")
