> I still get to stub out the types and function signatures I want, but the LLM can fill them in and I move on. More likely I'll even have my go at the implementation but then tag in the LLM when it's not fun anymore.

This is the best part for me. I can design my program the way I want. Then hack at the implementation, get it close, and then say okay finish it up (fix the current compiler errors, write and run some unit tests etc).

Then when it's time to write some boiler plate / do some boiler plate refactoring it's extract function xxx into a trait. Write a struct that does xxx and implements that trait.

I'm not over the resentment entirely, and if someone were to push me to join a team that coded by creating github issues, and reviewing the PRs I would probably hate that job, I certainly do when I try to do that in my free time.

In wood working you can use hand tools or power tools. I use hand tools when I want to use them either for a particular effect, or just the joy of using them, and I don't resent having to use a circular saw, or orbital sander when that's the tool I want to use, or the job calls for it. To stretch the analogy developing with plain text prompts and reviewing PRs feels more like assembling Ikea furniture. Frustrating and dull. A machine did most of the work cutting out the parts, and now I need to figure out what they want me to do with them.
