I like them for refactoring and “explain this massive codebase please”. Basically polishing or investigating things that already work.

But I think we should expect the scope of LLM work to improve rapidly in the next few years.

This species is going extinct. I finally accepted that when my dad died rather than change his lifestyle, despite being warned 10000x. My mom survived a heart attack, saw what happened to my dad, still hasn't changed her lifestyle.
