		darkport 57 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Human coders are still better than LLMs I think this is true for deeply complex problems, but For everyday tasks an LLM is infinitely “better”. And by better, I don’t mean in terms of code quality because ultimately that doesn’t matter for shipping code/products, as long as it works. What does matter is speed. And an LLM speeds me up at least 10x.

You expect to achieve more than a decade of pre-LLM accomplishments between now and June 2026?
