LLM anything makes me queasy. Why would any self respecting software developer use this tripe? Learn how to write good software. Become an expert in the trade. AI anything will only dig a hole for software to die in. Cheapens the product, butchers the process and absolutely decimates any hope for skill development for future junior developers.

I'll just keep chugging along, with debian, python and vim, as I always have. No LLM, no LSP, heck not even autocompletion. But damn proud of every hand crafted, easy to maintain and fully understood line of code I'll write.

Because I can ship 2x to 5x more code with nearly the same quality.

My employer isn't paying me to be a craftsman. They're paying me to ship things that make them money.

Good employee, you get cookie and 1h extra pto

No, I get to spend 2 hours working with LLMs, and then spend the rest of the day doing whatever I please. Repeat.

You do understand that state of things is metastable, right? If the productivity gains truly are as claimed, then they will become the _expectation_, and you'll be back to working the same amount. Probably more, because management won't understand that having solid abstractions instead of LLM generated slop is worthwhile for scalability and maintainability. Or less, because you'll have been laid off and will need to do something else to make money. We all know where most of the profits will go if any of this stuff pans out.
