   After programming for 40 years, my brain has many language parsers. But languages and interfaces and classes evolve and it been a huge productivity boost the use LLMs for coding.

   I use AI like StackOverflow on steroids. And like using stackoverflow, I do it in a browser and I don't let the LLM touch my code.

   I, personally, love programming more than ever!

      Problem is in many places the AI push is to use agents for everything and so instead of writing code now you end up reviewing what the LLM generated for most of the day.

         I find mostly what I do is think about how to improve the product, what the user wants, and what information the LLM needs and how to get it into the context window.

            Sure. Ultimately it's still you who is responsible for the code you ship I assume, no matter how it came about.
