> But, like any tool, LLMs should be used wisely.

While it's difficult to define, wisely can turn 'LLMs are useless' to 'ten X productivity boost'. However, at the end, of course, it all comes down to products. Before LLMs stole the show, we had built beautiful system software over the course of decades, linux, git, k8s and rust and yet the products that we use everyday are mostly (mostly) user-hostile and incorporate dark patterns, offer a suboptimal UX, and (in my opinion) sometimes involve outright inhuman marketing practices. That being said, even if you get AGI I don't think it will lead to any breakthroughs if we continue to do 'software engineering' like this year after year.

Agreed. I am starting to think that the only sane way to approach most of it is to learn enough to be able implement as much as possible yourself. It.. can suck hard, because you will spend a lot of time learning what true control really means, but in exchange you get exactly what you want and how you want it.

And this sucks, because I don't think I could reasonably apply this to anything else like cars..
