I read your linked comment and I'm bummed out because I agree. The thing is that I LIKE writing code. It's fun. I don't LIKE coding with an LLM. It isn't fun.

I don't LIKE coding with an LLM. It isn't fun.
We can't go back to a place where the professional code is all hand written. But at the same time I'm sad and tired. The joy has been utterly sapped and I don't think I'll be able to do this as a career for much longer.
- ChrisMarshallNY 2mo agoWell, I am sorry to hear that, but it hasn’t been my experience. That may have something to do with the way that I use an LLM. I use it as a “pair partner,” not as an agent. Most of the code in my apps is mine, but I do ask the LLM to take care of some of the “overhead” tasks, such as minor utility functions. In fact, I just got done, ripping out a bunch of code the LLM wrote, in my current app, and replacing it with my own work. It seems that I can’t really ask the LLM to do much beyond function level, without it going sideways. I simply can’t understand people shipping entire, vibe-coded apps. If I let the LLM write my whole app, it would be hot garbage.

- Breza 2mo agoThe other day, I was working with Polars and decided to go old school with everything. I asked my questions on udm14.com and wrote the code in Notepad++. It was invigorating. Reminded me why I started coding in the first place.
