Hiring seniors is a waste of money. You need someone who knows enough to drive LLMs, but not too much more. The LLMs are good enough to do the debugging, the coding, and a big part of the design work and system architecture.

Most of the work today is manual testing and feeding the bugs back into the LLMs.

I've been programming for 15 years, but I've never really taken the plunge into 3D work. Always wanted to. So I figure, now that coding agents are so powerful, let's see if I can make something!

I've tried 3 experiments so far, and have given it serious effort. They're all terrible.

The reason they're terrible is that it's a skill issue. I don't have 3D skills. I don't know the lingo, I don't know how to describe my problems, and I don't know when the agent is shooting itself in the foot.

Is this a poorly instructed llm? Or a poorly constructed thought?
