100%. I think there are a lot of people here on HN that are very threatened by LLMs, rightly so. I'm also afraid of my future and my day-to-day work has already changed from "loosing myself in a flow state solving technical puzzles" to "micro-managing LLMs". I don't like it, but hope I will learn to, at some point, or perhaps I find different work. I feel like I don't have a choice right now but to adapt and learn.

The answer to this issue is not to equate any code generated by LLMs to slop. It is just not true. As you say, the latest models often flag things that I would definitely miss, or they simplify my code significantly with a just-released feature. I see benefits to code quality all day from using LLMs.

I'm just saying (not to you but to comments below): Lets keep it constructive, which means: lets keep it real, as in close to truth. Yes vibe coding exists, and it has it's place (ie in prototyping?). But not in the kernel, and also not in my own line of works. LLMs do have a place there though.
