@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.

except LLMs are known to introduce bugs that take longer to debug than just implementing the thing by hand to begin with

@reiddragon @chikl @mrmasterkeyboard I do understand about the pressure be it issues or "community" but at some point you reached 100%. LLMs produce gaps and bugs different from humans and it eats time. But they also allow addressing problems humans lack motivation for, so you can do "stuff that has been [historically] impossible" for you. Debugging via LLM can be a spiral, but you can notice it has been YOLO-guessing and eg, force it to log and find evidence to converge on the problem.
