I'm writing for myself, not including myself in any group of people.

>I just want to know what is actually working today,

With LLMs I have facilitated the writing of about a million SLOC over the past 9 months.

- A GitHub "clone" with many enhancements which all of my development is hosted on

- A task manager as though kanban had a baby with a FIFO stack

- (in progress) a CAD kernel potential Parasolid competitor

- reverse engineered a vehicle diagnostics tool to diagnose and fix some car problems I was having more easily

- plenty of other small, half baked, or abandoned projects for one reason or the other

LLMs amplify me, they don't do things "for" me. They are working very well for me, but I have definitely hit their limitations in many places and transitioned back to the hardest problems to solve being on the human side of the equation.

What they can do for any particular person depends on the person and if they can come around to really grokking the human-machine relationship.
