This is a post that just reads as if the author is still in the “honeymoon” stage of their career where programming is seen as this extremely liberating and highly creative endeavour that no other mortal can comprehend. I get the feeling and I was there too, but, writing code has always been a means to an end which is to deliver business value. Painting it as this almost abstract creative process is just… not true. While there are many ways to attack a given problem, the truth is once you factor in efficiency, correctness, requirements and the patterns your team uses then the search space of acceptable implementations reduces a lot. Learn a couple of design patterns, read a couple of blogs and chat with your team and that’s all you need. Letting an LLM write down the correct and specific ideas you tell it to based on what I wrote earlier means your free time to do code reviews, attend important meetings, align on high level aspects and help your team members all which multiply the value you deliver only through code. Let LLMs automate the code writing so I can finally program in peace, I say!
