If an LLM can give you feedback on a way to proceed it sounds more like you might be the junior? :P

LLMs seems to be ok'ish at solving trivial boilerplate stuff. 20 attempts deep I have not yet seen it able to even remotely solve anything I have been stuck enough on to have to sit down and think hard.

Curious: what kind of problem domain to you work on? I use LLMs every day on pretty hard problems and they are always net positive. But I imagine they’re not well trained on material related to your work if you don’t find them useful.

What kind of problem domain do you work on?

More like it has no grey matter to get in the way of thinking of alternatives. It doesn’t get fixated, or at least, not on the same things as humans. It also doesn’t get tired, which is great when doing morning or late night work and you need a reality check.

Deciding which option is the best one is still a human thing, though I find that those often align too.
