I believe the way people use LLMs is purely a matter of personal taste, much like your preferred genre of porn. Someone might be into MILFs, another into incest... you just gravitate toward what you like, and there is no objective "right" answer.

As anyone who actually uses LLMs knows, you often have to reroll prompts multiple times to get a decent result, and a lot of times it turns out worse than if you had just written it yourself. But every now and then, using an LLM reveals a solution you hadn't considered—which makes sense, given that it’s ultimately just a probability machine regurgitating what countless other programmers have already done.

Because of this, the only thing that truly matters is the final quality of the software, not the specific methodology someone preaches. Just as a porn star's highly recommended position won't always work for you, people just have different workflows that fit them best.

But humans are social animals. We have a desperate need to prove to society that our way is the right way, so people just evangelize whatever workflow they’ve convinced themselves is correct. At the end of the day, the only real question is "Can I take full responsibility for the final output of this software?"
