I do, but I also use LLMs in a manner that seems drastically different, from most folks here.

I use the standard $20/ChatGPT Pro sub, and run Thinking 5.5 as a chat interface.

I use it like a "trusted personal advisor," as opposed to a "black box employee."

I'm intimately involved in almost every step of the development process. Most of what I ask from the LLM, is function-length snippets.

It's made a huge difference in the velocity and scope of my work.

I have learned that I need to be very careful, though. The LLM sometimes really borks things, and I have to rip out the garbage, and rewrite the code, myself. I can't even imagine the quality of "vibe-coded" software.

I don't know, the flow sounds exactly the same like many other comments, that starts almost exactly like this : that I use it differently then people here ...

Maybe I'm wrong, but these comments sound more and more advertising than personal experience.

I didn't see any reason for you to type the whole LLM version following the casing so precisely, why would it matter?
