Not really.

I use LLMs for things I am not good at. But I also know I am not good at them.

No one is good at everything. 100% fine.

hmm, maybe you are not as good at using llms as you think then? lol jk.

i mean if you have imposter syndrome then this feeling will always be prevalent. how do you know what you are good at or not? i might be competent enough to have progressed this far in my career as in "results", but comparison to people i consider "good" devs always puts in that doubt.

i guess it strikes a chord when someone in the same breath of claiming to be open minded makes a backhand comment where people who like llms might just must be a shitty programmer or whatever. i get the point, but that line doesn't quite land the way you think it does.

    Oh yeah that's entirely possible. I think mentioned it several times in the article. One always has to be open to the possibility that one is just ignorant.

    It does somewhat depress me that even in a very short article, people can't figure out I am talking about the irritating LLM Evangelists, not everyone who uses LLMs. It's in the title.

    Landed well enough to #1 on this hell site :)
