Other elements also apply.
No...it's that "can an LLM do it better" with no other commentary is perhaps the absolute lowest effort, lowest value comment possible on HN these days and mercifully gets an appropriate downvote. The condescending response to downvote is also par for the course from a particular sort of reader.
I'll just speak for myself, but I use Copilot with Visual Studio and C++ and Copilot does an excellent job of interpreting the instructions given to it and ensuring that the code I write is consistent with the coding style and standards specified in the instructions.
I have it set to check my code live, as I write it, and it will reformat my code on the fly to break lines up, fix typos, insert code snippets, autocomplete documentation, etc...
I will admit it was very awkward using it at first and I actually kind of hated it because it felt so intrusive, like having it modify code as I write it felt really distracting at first, but after maybe 2-3 days of doing it I got used to it and now I feel a lot more productive having it there. Especially for a language like C++ where sometimes the most menial syntax issue can have significant and hard to track down consequences, it's nice to have an LLM that can focus on these menial details while I focus on the higher level task.
