Thank you for writing this. Many software developers on HN are conflicted about ceding control of software development to LLMs for many reasons including the fact that it feels unstructured and exploratory rather than rigidly planned using more formal methodologies.
There's a good middle ground where the LLMs can help us solve problems faster optimizing for outcomes rather than falling in love with solving the problem. Many of us usually lose sight of the actual goal we're trying to achieve when we get distracted by implementation details.
absolutely! I think of these as new levers in the making, rather rusty, and def can often bite you in the behind but worth learning, and perhaps most importantly to help evolve them into useful tools rather than an excuse to ship sloppy engineering
