If that's how engineers used it, sure, but instead many pretend they're brilliant by committing 10k lines they don't understand.

I quit my last very good job because I became so fed up with this situation. It was bad enough before the CTO started using LLMs. It was ABSURD after.

(This was a YC company that sold quickly after I quit, at a loss, presumably because they didn't know what else to do)

No part of what I said suggested the tool wasn't capable of being a useful tool.
