This tracks for me. Its tempting to see LLMs as a superpower that makes it possible to use any programming language or platform, but I have much better results in platforms I know intimately...and I think this is largely because I'm using them in much more limited ways. When I've tried to pick up new tools and frameworks and heavily use LLMs to do early scaffolding, I have experiences similar to the author.
So someone could come along and say "well don't do that then, duh". But actually a lot of people are doing this, and many of them have far fewer fucks to give than the author and I, and I don't want to inherit their shitty slop in the future.
