I vehemently oppose delegating our brains to the AI. I agree with the article in spirit.

> let me tell you about this experience, and how it was turning me dumber, lazy, and a worse developer.

Though the article discusses from the point of using agents, I digress to the topic of building with AI in general.

My experience has been the exact opposite. A new idea (usually related to correctness or architecture) is discussed first with the LLM where it defaults to average Joe idiotic bullshit pushback.

This frustrates me and I abuse the LLM for being idiotic by explaining the how. This results in a more refined and concrete form of the abstraction leading me to even more insights.

The LLM remains an idiot. But a useful idiot nonetheless.
