    Everyone I work with who uses LLMs more than a little bit hasn’t gotten better at coding. They’ve just made bad code faster, with even less understanding.

    It’s something like a catch-22. The people smart enough to use them effectively don’t need to. The people who aren’t smart enough will misuse them.
