People treat this as some kind of all or nothing. I _do_ us LLM/AI all the time for development, but the agentic "fire and forget" model doesn't help much.
I will circle back every so often. It's not a horrible experience for greenfield work. A sort of "Start a boilerplate project that does X, but stop short of implementing A B or C". It's an assistant, then I take the work from there to make sure I know what's being built. Fine!
A combo of using web ui / cli for asking layout and doc questions + in-ide tab-complete is still better for me. The fabled 10x dev-as-ai-manager just doesn't work well yet. The responses to this complaint are usually to label one a heretic or Luddite and do the modern day workplace equivalent of "git gud", which helps absolutely nobody, and ignores that I am already quite competent at using AI for my own needs.

if one needs special "skill" to use AI "properly", is it truly AI?
Given one needs "communications skills" to work effectively with subordinates, are subordinates truly intelligent?
but then, if one needs to change communications style from human to AI, does this ethos then get tossed to the wind?

Human labor needs skill to compose properly into any larger effort..
