How is it the wrong tool for the job? In this particular case it's excellent, it can help you find proper abstractions.. without them you wouldn't realize.

I kind of view this use case as enhanced code linters



If that's how engineers used it, sure, but instead many pretend they're brilliant by committing 10k lines they don't understand.

I quit my last very good job because I became so fed up with this situation. It was bad enough before the CTO started using LLMs. It was ABSURD after.

(This was a YC company that sold quickly after I quit, at a loss, presumably because they didn't know what else to do)


the classification of a tool being right for the job does not depend on how people use it

someone holding a hammer by the head and failing at getting the nail in doesnt mean a hammer is a bad tool for nailing


> If that's how engineers used it, sure

No part of what I said suggested the tool wasn't capable of being a useful tool.
