The Developer's Manifesto for the Age of LLMs

> If you’re still writing everything by hand, ask yourself why.

Let me draw a comparison to the real world. Almost everything we can buy can be built in an automated production line. Some things, cannot. Some things we cannot even buy.

There are many cheap telescope products in the market. They're mass produced, leverage some super efficient supply chain of commodities.

Then, there is tiny telescope made by hand by optical nerd (video). No production line can build it, it would be insane. No one's ever done it (before that guy).

That's why I do things by hand. I am specifically aiming things that cannot be easily commoditized.

If you're glueing react components and doing forms and choosing npm packages, you're in a production line. In this realm, I suggest full LLM immersion.

If you're bit shaving under weird, constrained requirements that almost no one in the world cares about, then do your work outside LLMs.
