Knowing how to use LLMs is a skill. Just winging it without any practice or exploration of how the tool fails can produce poor results.

"You're holding it wrong"
99% of an LLM's usefulness vanishes, if it behaves like an addled old man.
"What's that sonny? But you said you wanted that!"
"Wait, we did that last week? Sorry let me look at this again"
"What? What do you mean, we already did this part?!"
Wrong mental model. Addled old men can't write code 1000x faster than any human.
I'd prefer 1x "wrong stuff" than wrong stuff blasted 1000x. How is that helpful?
Further, they can't write code that fast, because you have to spend 1000x explaining it to them.
