The skill of shooting down ideas has never been more valuable, actually.

LLM's are an endless source of bad code ideas. Being able to sift through them and find the gems is the exhausting way to be productive.

I agree with the general premise that it is easy to shoot down ideas without thinking. But it's also easy to propose ideas without thinking.

Both are disrespectful if disproportionate to the effort of the other.

The core is not idea generation versus critique. It's the effort spent on each.
