The prejudice comes down to whether they want to talk the LLM into the right solution vs applying what they know already. If you know your way around then there’s no need to go through the LLM. I think sr devs often tend to be more task focused so the idea of outsourcing the thinking to an LLM feels like another step to take on.
I find Claude good at helping me find how to do things that I know are possible but I don’t have the right nomenclature for. This is an area where Google fails you, as you’re hoping someone else on the internet used similar terms as you when describing the problem. Once it spits out some sort of jargon I can latch onto, then I can Google and find docs to help. I prefer to use multiple sources vs just LLMs, partially because of hallucination, but also to keep amassing my own personal context. LLMs are excellent as librarians.
