With all due respect, and I’m particularly anti-LLM, you sound exactly like someone who has never tried the tech.

You can use LLMs without letting them run wild on the entire codebase. You have git, so you can see every minute change it makes. You can limit what files it’s allowed to change and how much context you give it.

You don’t have to give it root on your machine to make it useful. You don’t have to “Jesus, Take the Wheel”. It is possible to try it out at a smaller scale, even on critical code.
