If you truly think LLM are not useful tools for programming, you haven't tried the right tools.

I'm pretty sure you used chat gpt when it came out and literally stopped looking then.

GPT 5.6 sol and Astra can now one shot incredible stuff.

I spent 22 years as an engineer split between MS and Apple. SOTA LLMs can write code just as good as most human engineers. I expect to see the "LLMs are just next token predictors!" crap on Reddit... not HN.

This kind of shaming is getting tired. At the end of the day, the people claiming their code quality is better without ai, while everyone else has low standards, aren’t providing any evidence of their supposed superiority.
