What a bizarre take Many people refuse to use LLM's for various reasons that I don't need to rehash here

  "Bizarre" is rejecting powerful tools on ... what, religious grounds? It would be one thing if we were talking woodworking or pottery or another skilled craft, where your personal growth of talent with experience is evident in the product, resulting in something you can look back on fondly and point to with pride. But moving some legacy code (which you didn't write) from one platform to another? What do you get out of doing that by hand?

    You seem either deliberately or functionally unable to grasp the premise of why anyone would do this (or reject LLM's) I suggest instead you go read up on why people dislike them and gain a more well-rounded and nuanced understanding of the topic

      And you seem to be operating on a faulty premise (as was I.)

        "Use it or lose it"?

          It's an interesting dilemma. I can tell that I will soon start to lose hard-won programming skills to muscle atrophy, just because of how seductive the power of telling an LLM "Deal with this" is becoming. But what I'm gaining in exchange is the ability to get more stuff done, which (to me) is what it's all about. It doesn't matter whether it's a hobby or professional project: when I start something, there's always a goal or result in mind, and whatever tools get me to that result are going to get used. I'm not completely unsympathetic to the OP's point of view, though, where the journey itself is all the reward they are seeking. That's one reason why I deleted the comment, as it came across as more negative and critical than I intended.
