You need to understand the frustration behind these kinds of posts.

The people on the start of the curve are the ones who swear against LLMs for engineering, and are the loudest in the comments.

The people on the end of the curve are the ones who spam about only vibing, not looking at code and are attempting to build this new expectation for the new interaction layer for software to be LLM exclusively. These ones are the loudest on posts/blogs.

The ones in the middle are people who accept using LLMs as a tool, and like with all tools they exercise restraint and caution. Because waiting 5 to 10 seconds each time for an LLM to change the color of your font, and getting it wrong is slower than just changing it yourself. You might as well just go in and do these tiny adjustments yourself.

It's the engineers at both ends that have made me lose my will to live.
