It's similar for writing code. Suddenly people are articulating their problems to the LLM and breaking it down in smaller sub-problems to solve....


In other words, people are discovering the value of standard software engineering practices. Which, I think is a good thing.


It has changed how I structure my code. Out of laziness, if I can write the code in such a way that each step follows naturally from what came before, "the code just writes itself!" Except now it's literally true :D


Maybe everyone already discovered this but I find that if I include a lot of detail in my variables names, it's much more likely to autocomplete something useful. If whatever I typed was too verbose for my liking long term, I can always clean it up later with a rename.
