For me, I don't mind if people want code written by LLMS. What I DO have a problem with is people handing over their problem solving to LLMS.

If someone uses Resharper to make some ugly code pretty, fine, I don't mind - as long as they can understand and explain the result. My issue I'm running into daily which drives me nuts is stopping people in their PR's and asking "Why did you do it this way? This seems like an odd approach" and get "Oh I dunno, Claude wrote it". Then what the hell are you checking it in for?

Between SO, Resharper + Fancy IDE tools, and the mountain of plug-and-play cloud services we have, I think the era of 'writing everything yourself' was already dwindling. But at least if someone chose one framework or library or SO post over another, they could explain why they chose it later on. Some sort of domain knowledge was being built up and transferred between devs over time (and I'm not talking about documentation). What I see more and more is systems being checked into production where the 'author' doesn't fully understand what it's doing, then it breaks in a way they don't expect, and then I see a team of clowns all with their claude terminals open desperately typing "WHAT DOES THIS ERROR MEAN" because nobody understands why it was built that way in the first place.

Fine get LLMS to help write your code, but do your job and handle the problem solving part. What are you being paid for otherwise?
