@foone@digipres.club I had a great conversation with a colleague about this. Since I was five years old, I've been using tooling created by some of the smartest people in the world to do this stuff efficiently and precisely. Switching work patterns to take the form of "an unproductive conversation with a subordinate" isn't a good use of my time or skills.
It's not like photographers bemoaning the advent of Photoshop, it's like handing a trained fine artist an old box of crayons and saying, "You'll love this, even kids can do it!"

@foone@digipres.club I'm not even a coder. I just write integrations and scripts. So far my experience is that I can get it nice and good by-hand, or I can basically spend the same amount of time arguing with an LLM or fixing its output to match the real world needs, and WRITING THE SCRIPT isn't the part that takes the most time or creates the most risk anyways, it's the administrative overhead. I keep thinking that if we were a code-driven shop, we'd probably have more success, but I'm not even sure if that's true or if people are blowing smoke.
