> It works because when you have a bug/error message, instead of spending a bunch of time on Google/searching on stack overflow for the exact right answer, you can now do this: That's not how I work since I stopped being a junior dev. I might google an error message/library combination if I don't understand it but in most cases, I just read the stacktrace and the docs, or maybe the code. I don't doubt that LLMS can be quite useful when working with large, especially foreign, codebases. But I have yet to see the level of "if you don't use it you're not an engineer" some people like to throw around. To the contrary, I'd argue if you rely on an LLM to tell you what you should be doing, you aren't an engineer, you are a drone.
