> The complaints about LLM's that lack any information about the domains being worked in, the means of integration (deep in your IDE vs cut and paste into vim) and what your asking it to do (in a very literal sense) are the critical factors that remain "un aired" in these sorts of laments.

I'm not sure if this is a direct response to the article or a general point. The article includes an appendix about my use of LLMs and the domains I have used them in.

Not GP, but your appendix about LLM usage matches exactly how I use it too: mainly for rubber ducking and research. The codegen it's useful for (that I've found) is generating unit tests. Code coverage tools and a quick skim are more than sufficient for quality checks since unit tests are mostly boilerplate and you want to make sure that different branches are being covered.
