A lovely article by Sean Goedecke.

LLMs excel at writing code that works that doesn’t have to be maintained.

Really resonated with me. Overly relying on LLMs turns into your code not really being yours anymore. I look at my code from some years ago and go like "I wrote that? Eww". With LLMs it's more like a week ago.

The article is definitely worth reading.

It reminds me of Stephen Fry's naration of Nick Cave's stirring letter about ChatGPT.

That songwriter who is using ChatGPT to write his lyrics because it is faster and easier is participating in the erosion of the world's soul and the spirit of humanity itself. And, to put it polity should f*cking desist if he wants to call himself a songwriter.
