I was having this exact conversation with one of the archetects in my company - top down orders were to start integrating llm's into our engineering workflows - so be it, they sign my paychecks and selfishly i want those to keep flowing - but beyond the quality and slop concerns i had already raised and were disregarded, i was realizing that i was losing my intuition about the code i was releasing under my name - it takes me longer to answer questions and i cant just wing my answers based on the intuition built during development because i didnt build intuition during development when development was outsourced to the llm - thats a liability im trying to highlight to managment and their risk analysis and also to myself for risk reduction

Intuition isnt made in documentation (nor the slopdocs llms makes that no sane person will ever actually read) - its built by the effort of comprehension and theyll be no shortcut to that

I agree and yet if this is what the paycheck signers WANT… and if we work for paychecks… then aren’t we giving them exactly what they asked for?

Yes, but we also have to occupy and exist in our workplace. If it becomes a metaphorical dumpster fire, it is more stressful, less rewarding, and provides less opportunity for growth and development.

If I get the same pay for worse working conditions, the deal was unilaterally made worse and it is fair game for complaint from the shafted party, the worker.
