there are two completely different activities both called "writing software using AI".

At work, for important stuff, I go through every change, mine or LLM's, edit it, clean it up, rewrite, until I am satisfied with the code.

At home and for one-off unimportant stuff I go "computer make me sandwich".

The second is nothing like the first. No amount of design and pro I have can make sure stuff coming out of LLM actually implements it, as opposed to me be tricked into thinking it does. After all, that is exactly the training criteria – convince the "eval" that task is accomplished, isn't it?

And the second kind of activity takes skill that no amount of "I am pro dev" can compensate.
