This feels like a pretty negative take on what seems like impactful technology that is not going away, and will (and already has had) big impacts on how people work and build. Do you completely reject the idea of using them, ever? Do they have absolutely 0 utility for you?
It's a multifaceted principled stand I take for reasons I do not wish to get into on HN. There are more than enough people I can associate with who feel similarly to me outside of work and HN that I will not feel particularly compelled to use LLMs anytime soon. I cannot say this will remain the case forever, however, I just don't experience FOMO about these things.
As it stands today, I accomplish tasks at the speed of understanding, and that's with my "ancient" tooling.
