Developer Expresses Dissatisfaction with LLM Use in Coding

TL;DR. A developer shared frustration with using Large Language Models for coding, citing decreased flow state and architectural thrashing. - The user found LLMs functioned primarily as a research search engine rather than a productive coding tool. - Continued use resulted in a perceived atrophy of coding skills and significant time wasted. - The developer concluded LLMs are an expensive and inefficient solution for their current coding workflow.

• Developer reports a loss of flow state when coding with LLMs.
• Significant time spent on architectural changes and manipulating tests due to LLM output.
• LLMs are viewed more as a research tool than a practical coding assistant.
• The experience led to skill atrophy and wasted resources.
