Completely wrong generalization.

I'm a person who is over-reliant on LLMs, doesn't know how most of the things in the codebase work, and is atrophying both in programming and in general cognition.

I used to care, a lot. And I still do.



Tell us more about how you caring a lot matches up with this self diagnosis.

Are you prioritizing other things? Do you think losing your cognition and programming skills won't have a negative effect on your project?

Those seem bad but maybe they fit into a bigger picture for you?


I don't want to speak for them, but perhaps this is a very real consequence of the "use ai or get left behind" talking point. Maybe they were effectively scared into it, and now are too far gone. They seem like a very reasonable person if they're admitting to being over reliant on LLMs, so I don't mean this as an insult


Nope you just don't care to know. Stop making excuses.


What are you trying to do to halt that atrophy, then?


If you actually cared. You’d do something about it.
