Watching the frustratingly fruitless fights over the USEFULNESS of LLM-based coding helpers, I've come down to 3 points that explain why ppl seem to live in different realities: Most programmers: 1) Write inconsequential remixes of trivial code that has been written many times before. 2) Lack the taste for good design & suck at code review in general (yours truly included). 3) Lack the judgement to differentiate between 1) & FOSS repos of nontrivial code, leading to PR slop avalanche. 1/3
