> I'm a good programmer, and it speeds up my work a lot
replyThe problem with this line of thinking is the same with "I so good as C developer, my code is so-safe!".
And we see what reality instead tell: Yes, exist people where this claims are true, not, is not even a decently sized minority.

replybut that acceleration is exactly because you're not good at that language
Can't we reach a compromise where proven track record of good use of LLM by a contributor or a company (eg. Bun) be pre-approved or entertained? Blanket ban on a new technology shouldn't be the default option.
replyNo.
replyyep. as an expert programmer there are things i did not have access to. for example, i have an embedded-lite hardware project that required a one line patch to a linux kernel Module.
replyi know what a kernel module is and im reasonably certain that the patch is safe, but there is no way in hell i would have found that solution (i would have given up). in a world without llms, the project would have died.
It's great when I know how the code should look. Sometimes I just can't bring myself to write yet another http handler.
