It’s hard to know if your experience is relevant from 6 months to year ago. The models are getting better every couple of months. My current experience is mostly like the other senior above. For me the last 4 months I’ve gone from mostly writing code by hand to writing almost no code by hand. I guide the LLM and it’s a force multiplier. I review its code and discuss with it how to test and what needs changing and it does it. I point out things it didn’t handle and it handles them.
Uh, I didn't say I stopped using LLM's 6mos to a year ago. I have to for my job, it was just that long ago that I began to understand that they aren't what they seem and definitely aren't a "force multiplier," more like a "debt generator."
