I don't think coding with LLMs is all that much more productive. Faster code generation != productivity. I can code pretty fast, I'm not worried about llm users outperforming me. I'm worried way more for them than I am myself.

There are handmade watchmakers in Switzerland and guys pressing buttons on a manufacturing line in Vietnam making watches, they both make the same thing but who's labor is more valuable?

LLMs will fry your brain and make your labor basically worthless, don't fall for it, I promise you'll be screwed in short order. They're counting on your turning yourself into a glorified button pusher they can pay $15 an hour for, have fun with that. That's not what I got into software to do and I'm not going to let ya'll try and gaslight me into your way being better, or the only option because its not.
