You dont need an LLM to do this though. I thought this skill just comes naturally to programmers who have had a lot of experience in diverse areas.
I'm in Linux/OSS spaces and virtually no one uses an LLM here since much of the work is more social than technical (negotiating many ways to resolve an issue) with a lot more problem solving than busywork. At some point you have to get your hands dirty and there are no more shortcuts.
In fact, LLMs have only harmed us in that there are more bogus bug reports and garbage slop being tossed at projects not to mention every community git forge having to implement some form of ddos mitigation because of the very harmful and real negative externalities of LLMs.
It's also literally just an auto-format/quick-fix feature in nearly every IDE, and was long before the AI craze.
Ofc I don't NEED it but it saves me a ton of time
At work this means less risk of being fired for low performance
At home this means more time for chores and other interests
Those issues you mentioned are due to the users not understanding the limitations of LLMs and what they're good or bad. It's a tool that requires skill and knowledge to use well and unfortunately a lot of people treat it like it has understanding and reasoning like a human
It sounds like you need a union more than you need an LLM.
With hobby coding, the journey usually matters more than the destination.
Not always. There are some projects I do for learning, some projects I do to improve my life
I know but my average coworker has always been multi millionaires with property and half of them are Indian fascists, one quarter Chinese anti- communists, and almost all constantly fearmongering about the homeless in SF
