alt Hacker News> As a senior developer, 25+ years, I have been thrown recently into a meeting "hey can you join in for 5 mins".
This is a common thing doctors complain about. Patients come in, saying they just need a prescription for some drug or other. Good doctors often refuse to give any drugs or any advice until they understand the whole situation properly.
If you're a senior developer, you're the one who has to push back against behaviour you don't like. You have the authority. "Hm, interesting question. I'm going to need more context before I can give you my point of view. Can you give me a quick overview of the system architecture / explain what actual problems you're trying to solve with this approach?"
> Can you give me a quick overview of the system architecture
I think what the OP is saying is that it's the OP's job to know that, and didn't, because they over leverage the LLM.
Like if a doctor was brought in on a cardio consult on their patient because they had a maybe unrelated heart condition, and the only thing they could answer to "why did you prescribe cemidine instead of decimine" is "lemme get back to you on that."
