To be fair, a "very very senior dev" wouldn't tell me that I'm doing it wrong without telling me what I'm doing wrong.

I've tried. It's like trying to teach squirrels how to Google. Really, you just have to figure out what works for you. You will be rewarded.
This combination of "no true scotsman" and "you're holding it wrong" is quite amazing to behold.
If AI is as good as it being marketed as, you shouldn't even be able to hold it wrong!
Ah, the classic HN "I keep Wikipedia's list of logical fallacies on my bookmark bar" retort.
“No true Scotsman” would require me to redefine “senior developer” to exclude people who disagree with me. I didn’t.
And “you’re holding it wrong” is a strange objection to a tool that, like Git, rewards learning how to use it. The question is whether that learning pays off.
A very very senior dev can use LLMs with confidence and definitely doesn't get surprised by them.
