   to someone hobby programming using LLM seems like running a marathon using a bicycle, you cross the finish, but at the end is not the same as running only by your only forces.

   Others look only at the results, so LLM are only a tool (actually without a clearly instruction manual i suspect).

   But programming (and so many others works) is not only about making, but learning and developping skills. When an LLM is not available? i think differences will be evident.

   And roughly speaking: to check the result of LLM you have to be more capable than the bot, otherwise, who is the boss? And to develop those skills, you have to do it yourself.

      I enjoy programming as a hobby and have done it for many years. I also enjoy building stuff with LLMs. Why is one pure and sanctioned and the other one is bad? Why do I need other people to decide this for me?

         if is good/bad for you is only to you, nobody else decide for you, but reasoning about general consequences adopting this thech is to everyone
