My favorite is when someone is demoing something that AI can do and they have to feed it some gigantic prompt. At that point, I often ask whether the AI has really made things faster/better or if we've just replaced the old way with an opaque black box.

The gigantic prompt has a side benefit though: it's documentation on design and rationale that otherwise would typically not get written.

Until now, it was a code smell if you need those often. There are exceptions to that, but those are a small minority.

Also, design and rationale what humans need is different than what LLMs need. Even what is needed according to humans writing code/documentation and what’s needed for reading is different, that’s why we have that many bad documentation. There are ton of Apache projects whose documentation is rather a burden than helpful. They are long and absolutely useless.

Null argument. I'd rather have developers who do system design before the system implementation.
