I do fall into this category of people that are seen as heavily abusing copium. I can admit that when I do get unsatisfactory results from a prompt session, a lot of it has to do with the mental friction I feel at the idea of letting something else write my code.

It again is coming back to my opinion the LLMs have recreated the job in such a way that it emphasizes what I disliked most, and de-emphasizing what I liked. It emphasizes "the goal" and de-emphasizes "the process". We had a period in the 10's where the process (namely, becoming adept at using and learning an ever-changing set of open source tools) was a bit more celebrated. You could justify a lunch-and-learn on things like man pages, commit isolation levels, or package manager - and doing something like that would be seen in a positive light. And now, why would you waste everyone's time talking about something that ChatGPT can figure out for you?

Anyway, thanks for your time in your response.
