The title is actually “The Best Rubber Duck I've Ever Had”.

True, but “Ai is the best rubber duck I’ve ever had” would be a more appropriate submission title (and in line with capitalization guidance!).

HN's title auto censorship can be funny sometimes

More like title mangling.

You can edit your own submission titles BTW. (Hint to the submitter, if that window hasn't expired.)

Decent advice, but I noted that every single thing he suggested (i.e. "make sure you..." or "look out for...") is going to be very difficult, well nigh impossible for any medium to large coding organization to do. I wonder if LLMs will end up empowering individual programmers, but cursing large dev teams to more rapid decay.

I'd even say AI can act as a good tutor as well, I often use it to learn about a concept and then have it prompt me 1-2 days later in quiz form (you have to specific that multiple choice questions shouldn't come back as correct answer first ) which helps you solidify concepts.
