I also feel like I’m in another reality. I use cursor and aider every day and now grok also. If I didn’t have years and years of experience I wouldn’t be able to fix shit code it regularly produces or figure it out when it can’t (and that happens a lot).
Also learning-wise I don’t feel like I get much from LLMs versus traditional doc reading and lecture / YouTube watching. So you need the knowledge already also.
I don’t get it. Are people just lying or is there a secret tool that is 100x better than anything I can find?
