Using an LLM is a form of pair programming.

Not really, LLMs do not push back on design decisions and will happy continue with whatever prompt you throw at them. That’s after we look past quality isssues.

“Your absolutely right…”

It could push back more, true. Although it's role in pair programming is the driver, you are the navigator. I often begin a session with exploring and asking it questions of the code as I would a junior developer.

Saves this old man from typing anyway.

Not sure how to respond to this as clearly that's what I was getting at. Perhaps this is a response from an LLM though. Again, not being sarcastic, it just seems like it's maybe the case?

Does my post history suggest to you I am an LLM?

[squeefers]

you make a good point and everything but have you considered the way people using LLM is similar to the way we review code together as humans? but if you think about it, they just swapped one of the humans with an LLM

[batshit_beaver]

Yeah, akin to talking to a rubber ducky

[sodapopcan]

I like to agree as sorta yes but also really no because it's a rubber ducky that doesn't give you the chance to come to your own conclusion and even if it does it has you questioning it.
