@bbatsov I'd mainly want to discuss on the basis of the chapter »Do you even need a “power tool” anymore?«.

You write »all of it is in service of making the human more efficient at the mechanical act of coding« — but that's not the point: it's to give the human a faster way to put their thoughts to canvas, thus reducing interruption of those thoughts, and to give them more time to /have/ thoughts.

Put that way, I don't see how LLMs help at all, and frankly, I actually do believe they don't.
