Everything about that is true but, and that's a big BUT, the code I write with LLM I can only iterate on it with an LLM.

My mind doesn't develop a mental model of that code, I don't know where the relevant parts are, I can't quickly navigate through it and I have to reach the LLM for every small change.

Which is why I like Copilot style editing more than agents as a working model but agents are just so much more powerful and smarter thanks to everything available to them.

You can ask the llm to write code the way you think about it. I usually write a little spec document as my first prompt, and in there i'll add some rules on how I want code structured, seperated etc.

If you use cursor, cursorrules can be a good way of doing this.

This still doesn't work for me. I have to actively think about the problem, find a solution, and write the code myself. Outsourcing these efforts makes my learning ineffective.

I will keep using LLMs for 1 week greenfield hobby projects that I don't plan to revisit. But no matter how good LLMs get, I will never use them in my dailyjob, otherwise, I risk losing touch with the codebase.
