It's like they've become ensnared in some kind of trap. Like seeing your community get addicted to heroin. Working with an LLM is addicting as hell if you're not careful.

And with fewer talented devs thinking on their own, free to start their thoughts wherever they want, there are fewer devs who are worth listening to. Whatever they say is influenced by the LLM they use.

What a time.

Haha, I get that. I made a silly little thing & it worked. It's very tempting to do it again. I can see why it would get addicting, especially having the security of knowledge. I'd like to make something less silly, but I'd also like to understand how it works & _maybe_ how to fix it if something goes sideways. That has worked out well in other aspects of life, so I think it's a solid play.
