Made a similar comment.

It's great for tenured engineers, when we use it.

When juniors use LLM, because they don't have experience, it becomes a nightmare for tenured engineers, and we just end up "mopping the slop", as I tend to say.

I also have issue with how LLM do testing.

Just as with an LLM, a detailed style and format guide helps an incredible amount both for the LLMs and juniors. If you have standards and they’re not written down, you either require everyone to go teach them to anyone new, or you don’t have standards.

> you don’t have standards.

The problem is that LLM mess up things as basic as math and dates, and that's before the context gets too large and it starts making other mistakes.

Edit: Also LLM over mock tests and juniors trust that...
