Well, it takes a while to learn Vim and then get value from it.

It also takes a while to learn using an LLM and get value from it.

The keys are how to build prompts, ways of working, and guidelines that help the AI stay focused.

You end up spending much more time guiding and coaching rather than coding, that can take a while to get used to.

Eventually though, you will master it and be able to write secure, fast code far beyond what you could have done by yourself.

Note: Also, prep yourself for incoming hate every time you make claims like that! If you write bad code, it's your fault. If your LLM writes bad code, you're a moron! hah
