    I don’t know any coders who doesn’t use any kind of llm help these days. From prompting a snippet to fill blown agents.

      Engineer/programmer here. Me and my coworker have never used AI to code.

      We have a mature codebase, there’s no point to have an LLM make code for us.

      Then you’re 100% living in a bubble. High. Full time software engineer who does not use LLMs. Most of my friends do not use LLMs. There’s way more of us than you think

        I’m not saying you don’t exist, and I’m happy for you that you have an opportunity to code yourself, but yeah where I’m at it’s a slumbering art.

      Senior software dev here at a company you know of. I was forced to use Claude for a week at my job and it was absolutely miserable. I hate LLMs and don’t use them in any way, shape, or form. I do spend a lot of time cleaning up the fucking slop written by some of my colleagues who have no qualms about unleashing them on our codebase which is already bursting with tech debt.

      Like, it’s gotten to the point where I check potential new dependencies for AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md/Claude as a commit co-author/.cursor in .gitignore before I use them. It’s obviously not possible to avoid using code written with LLMs, but I’ve had too many fucking problems at this point, so I’m going to try.

        Oh I agree it creates many problems, especially when going full vibe. I’m a tech lead at a company you will never hear about and we’re being pushed to experiment with llms, trying to find ways to increase productivity.
