alt Hacker News> I'm using an LLM to write the code for my current project, but I iterate improvements in the code until it looks like code I wrote myself.
The prevailing research suggests this is not quicker than just writing it in the first place.

It may not be quicker, but it is often more thorough and less stressful on my old joints. It is also far less tiring.
“Take this CSV of survey data and create a web visualization and create a chloropleth map with panning, zooming, and tooltips” I bypass permissions and it’s done in 10 minutes while I go do some laundry. If I did it myself I would not even be done researching a usable library and I would have zero lines of code. Those studies are total nonsense.
