For certain work, we'll have to let go of this desire.

If you limit yourself to whatever you can recreate, then you are effectively limiting the work you can produce to what you know.

you should limit your output (manual or assisted) to a level that is well under your understanding ceiling.

Kernighan’s Law states that debugging is twice as hard as writing. how do you ever intend on debugging something you can’t even write?

It's simple, they'll just let the LLM debug it!

This is why I believe the need for actually good engineers will never go away because LLMs will never be perfect.
