> I write this as a practitioner, not as a critic. After more than 10 years of professional dev work, I’ve spent the past 6 months integrating LLMs into my daily workflow across multiple projects. LLMs have made it possible for anyone with curiosity and ingenuity to bring their ideas to life quickly, and I really like that! But the number of screenshots of silently wrong output, confidently broken logic, and correct-looking code that fails under scrutiny I have amassed on my disk shows that things are not always as they seem.

Same experience, but the hype bros do only need a shiny screengrab to proclaim the age of "gatekeeping" SWE is over to get their click fix from the unknowingly masses.
