Don’t use it for coding. Well at least using it for everything around coding rather than just coding itself was my aha moment, I realised I could understand new codebases way faster, brainstorm, sense check ideas draft better thought out arguments to my perspective and generally ask stupid questions. All of which has significantly increased my learning as a developer. Using it for coding itself is another matter.
Because that would kill your ability and ruin what ever experience you had. And without that, your "reviews" and "signing" off of the LLMs actions would end up being just performative quite fast.
Define better. Faster to literally write the code - LLM. Deeper understanding of how it works - write yourself. Less skill atrophy - write yourself. More fun - write yourself. You can argue all these points and they’ll be different for everyone, but my feeling is that everything I listed in the original comment are clear additives to my process/learning.
