See, I don't take it that extreme: LLMs make fantastic, never-before seen quality autocompletes. I hacked together a Neovim plugin that prompts an LLM to "finish this function" on command, and it's a big time save for the menial plumbing type operations. Think things like "this api I use expects JSON that encodes some subset of SQL, I want all the dogs with Ls in their name that were born on a Tuesday". Given an example of such API (or if the documentation ended up in its training), LLMs will consistently one-shot stuff like that.

Asking it to do entire projects? Dumb. You end up with spaghetti, unless you hand-hold it to a point that you might as well be using my autocomplete method.
