This sounds like, “I’m not going to buy any food at the store at all; I’m going to toil the soil for any nutrient I put in my mouth.”

Cool story bro, but it sounds like you are trying to convince yourself.

See you back here in a month, or so.

I was a competitive programmer, coded non-stop in many languages for 15+ years.

I haven't touched a line of code in over 6 months, didn't even look at it, but the work I do is faster and higher quality than ever.

Not sure how I feel about it

I have the personal rules regarding LLM coding:

- Try to prove the concept early on. When you start spinning in circles, then it might be time for a different approach

- I’ve had a lot of success with projects that have not started out as LLM codebases. And adding features one by one and testing really carefully by hand

- UI generated by LLMs are overly verbose. The key lies in the iteration. What you can cut, move or approach differently. But you have to have taste.
