I’m similar: LLM can improve my productivity by 10-20% when I’m working on something familiar, 30-50% when I’m venturing into a popular domain that I’m unfamiliar with.
I just don’t understand where the hell is this magical LLM capable of generating flawless files or even entire projects that many people are talking about. I rarely accept a large block of LLM-generated code without close inspection, and I’ve ended up with a subtle bug that I wouldn’t have written myself at least ~5 times now. Unless you don’t give a shit about code quality, error handling, proper logging, and subtle bugs, you shouldn’t run LLM-generated stuff without painstakingly reading and fixing everything. Or maybe there really is a magical LLM somewhere.
