No one uses it this way, despite what people say. They hit any sort of wall and then ask the robot. Thought ends.

These services are designed for that engagement loop. If they were designed to be tools to help you think, they would be much less front and center, like autocomplete or refactor tools in IDEs. This reminds me of how Google used BERT models (precursor to LLMs) to highlight relevant snippets of web pages in search results based on a search query. "Assistant-" type LLMs would be more like that (or early implementations of code assistants, like Roo or Aider).
Same way everyone gives lip service to reviewing output. I know for a fact that at work most don't, not deeply/properly. You basically can't and hit the volume that's been demanded.
it's practically impossible when Claude flings like 1000-line diffs to your face and the tests are green
Yeah I know. Which is why I wish we’d (the royal we) all stop pretending and lying about it haha.
I mean the workplace dynamics are such that nobody really cares unless they find themselves in a position of committing something that could get them fired. Most companies dont treat their workers all that well.
Why would you as a worker bother doing everything pristine? Theres no reward for you. The management of the company will fire you the day they see fit anyway. Not to mention companies tend to give higher salary raises to those who leave and later return - a true slap in the face of 'loyalty'.
While I agree, I think that the reward is that when I write things myself I have to revisit that code much less frequently than those who are vibing their services. I'm sure someone will tell me that the person didn't prompt it right. Anyway, until we no longer live in this crumbling semblance of a capitalist society, then I will continue to do my job to not just keep it but also make my life easier.
