I have always liked coding (started in the 80s). But I got bored having to deal with trivialities (spending life on fixing commas) and increasing accidental complexity (having to memorize tons of APIs). Now LLMs deal with that crap and I can apply stuff I read in research papers and such, with much lower threshold.

For me, at least (with probably half the experience) the trivialities are important for making me understand the design, so I can improve it.

If there's a lot of boilerplate, then we should condense that to something else.

Unfortunately, with the way these models are currently trained, they default to solving the same problem in multiple ways depending on the position of Jupiter and the Moon (apparently).
