I find LLMs remove all the fun for me. When I build my homelab, I want the satisfaction of knowing that I did it. And the learning gains that only come from doing it manually. I don't mind using an LLM to shortcut areas that are just pure pain with no reward, but I abstain from using it as much as possible. It gives you the illusion that you've accomplished something.

The thing about anything that actually gets used, is what removes the fun the quickest is when it breaks and people who actually want to use it start complaining.

In that case, it's not about the 'joy of creation', but actually getting everything up and running again, in which case LLMs are indispensable.

I don't disagree. All depends on what you're looking to get out of it.
