That's all I needed to hear to completely disregard your motivated reasoning.

Edit: I've hit the rate limit, but I'd like to disavow the bad-faith accusations made against me and my account in the replies to this comment.

Second edit: I am not trolling. Why should I take your opinion on LLM code generation seriously when you have been friends with the founder of Anthropic for well over a decade? Obviously you are not in a position to make a rational evaluation of this technology.

Sounds like motivated reasoning from someone worried about having their job stolen by wild monkeys.

A lot of these AI guys seem pretty simple to me...

LLMs are for people who want to turn off their brain. If you want your team to improve, you should lead by example and stop using LLMs. You need to create an environment where it is unacceptable to turn off your brain. Your underlings will never use LLM tools the way you want them to. LLM tools are designed to be used the way your underlings use them.

It really does seem like the target audience of LLM users are people who never learned to use Vim.

Why would anyone pay you to work for them if you aren't willing to do these things? This is the entire job.
