anecdotally, I’ve built a lot of projects and abandoned them because I ran out of time. With an LLM to reduce the input effort I actually think I would’ve maintained them longer.
do you have a source which backs up what you’re claiming?

Not the person you’re replying to, but There are no shortages of evidence showing heavy LLM usage causing cognitive decline. Likewise, if we accept anecdotal evidence, many users report losing understanding of their codebase after letting an LLM do substantial changes for them. Architecture drift is a common problem, too. LLMs are trained on public code, much of it subpar, so it stands to reason that they are prone to regurgitating security vulnerabilities. I am not including the plethora of ethical issues with LLMs, which I assume you do not care for from a purely utilitarian although short-sighted perspective.
