The other day people were talking about metrics, the amount of lines of code people vs LLMs could output in any given time, or the lines of code in an LLM assisted application - using LOC as a metric for productivity.
But would an LLM ever suggest using a utility or library, or re-architecture an application, over writing their own code?
I've got a fairly simple application, renders a table (and in future some charts) with metrics. At the moment all that is done "by hand", last features were stuff like filtering and sorting the data. But that kind of thing can also be done by a "data table" library. Or the whole application can be thrown out in favor of a workbook (one of those data analysis tools, I'm not at home in that are at all). That'd save hundreds of lines of code + maintenance burden.
