This, of course, is the problem.

There's a really painful Dunning-Kruger process with LLMs, coupled with brutal confirmation bias that seems to have the industry and many intelligent developers totally hoodwinked.

I went through it too. I'm pretty embarrassed at the AI slop I dumped on my team, thinking the whole time how amazingly productive I was being.

I'm back to writing code by hand now. Of course I use tools to accelerate development, but it's classic stuff like macros and good code completion.

Sure, a LLM can vomit up a form faster than I can type (well, sometimes, the devil is always the details), but it completely falls apart when trying to do something the least bit interesting or novel.
