People who aren't too far down the spectrum can decide when to call it a day, especially when it's unpaid. If you take that approach, coding assists will generally get whatever you were trying to do, done quicker.
It's up to you what you do with that extra time, keep doing more, or go touch some grass. When you eventually fall ill, as we all will, you won't be wishing you had done more work with your time.

@hopeless @chikl @mrmasterkeyboard > People [...] can decide when to call it a day LLMs do nothing to change the dynamic. Programmers hand-writing their code can call it a day when they feel drained just as well. Y'know, except for when they can't because there's implied pressure to do more so you don't risk losing corporate sponsorships. > coding assists will generally get whatever you were trying to do, done quicker. except LLMs are known to introduce bugs that take longer to debug than just implementing the thing by hand to begin with
