My entire point was in one single sentence, and yet you managed to shit out three sentences, not even remotely addressing that.

I'm saying that if the output puked out by an LLM is of better quality than your own code, something you literally just confessed to, then you're nothing but a hack. An impostor.

What does the fact that you've been training anyone have to do with that? What does a degree, or lack thereof, have to do with anything? I've seen plenty of hacks employed as "seniors", some with a CompSci degree. The kind of hacks that used to be overly reliant on StackOverflow in the past. The kind of hacks that write poorly performing garbage, yet quote Knuth's "premature optimization is the root of all evil" (completely missing the context) when you confront them about it.
