> LLMs can write a large fraction of all the tedious code you’ll ever need to write. And most code on most projects is tedious.
You still need to read this tedious code to verify that it actually does what you want it to do. Given this, I'd much rather prefer to write the tedious code myself than having to make sense of someone else's tedious code.
I've reproduced this type of sentiment over several of my hobby projects and it usually hits hard toward the latter half of the project and its usually related to bugs. In the beginning it's all great and fast with LLMs, but then there's a kind of steep drop in motivation as one realizes one has to dig as deep anyway into the tedious stuff, because there are always bugs.
