>> Why would I spend time babysitting an LLM when I could have just done it myself

Exactly this. From what I understand an LLM has a limited context and will get that context wrong anyway and that context is on the edge of a knife and can easily be lost.

I'd rather mentor developers and build a team of living, breathing, thinking, compassionate humans who then in turn can mentor other living, breathing, thinking, compassionate humans.

If we're honest - you are not being stopped from mentoring developers. You're saying you'd want to do it on time paid for by others, and competing with teams not doing that.

So the actual pain point is compensation, and IMO we should directly call that out and address it.
