Stop whining. LLMs are available to everyone. If you think you can do better, then go ahead and do it instead of criticizing people who are actually getting things done.

This is not "getting things done", it is not a useful project. It is one of the interesting projects that one would do to show mastery of a hard technical topic (compiler), to learn, and to impress fellow programmers. Doing it with an LLM makes it just completely useless

    There can be other valid perspectives than your own.

    Different people code for different reasons.

    Some see it as a means to an end... "I want X as an end result and I don't care how I get it."

    Others see it as an art form and something special to them; their sense of worth is tied to their knowledge and experience in something that not just anyone can do (without an AI).

    OP uses an LLM because they just want the end result. You might write code for different reasons entirely. Neither is "wrong" or "useless."
