I like writing. I hate editing.

Coding with an LLM seems like it’s often more editing in service of less writing.

I get this is a very simplistic way of looking at it and when done right it can produce solutions, even novel solutions, that maybe you wouldn’t have on your own. Or maybe it speeds up a part of the writing that is otherwise slow and painful. But I don’t know, as somebody who doesn’t really code every time I hear people talk about it that’s what it sounds like to me.
