The split I'm seeing with those around me is: 1. Those who see their codebase as a sculpture, a work of art, a source of pride 2. Those who focus on outcomes. They are not contradictory goals, but I'm finding that if your emphasis is 1, you general dislike LLMs, and if your emphasis is 2, you love them, or at least tolerate them. | ||

Why would you dislike LLMs for 1? I have my personal projects where every single line if authored by hand. Still, I will ask LLMs for feedback or look for ideas when I have the feeling something could be rearchitected/improved but I don't see how. More often than not, they fluke, but occasionally they will still provide valid feedback which otherwise I'd missed. LLMs aren't just for the "lets dump large amounts of lower-level work" use case. | ||
