Re:Ask HN: Software engineers who enjoy working with LLMs? by karel-3d on Friday April 10, 2026 @03:23AM (#47714727)
I don't enjoy them writing code. The code is always so messy and needs so many changes.

I enjoy throwing Codex code I don't understand and asking "where is X done" or "what does this line do". It's not always correct but it saves me a lot of time.

I also sometimes give it code for review. It sometimes finds actual bugs. About half of the time, but I ignore the other half. Like a better linter.

I really hate LLM generated documentation that I sometimes see now. In my opinion documentation should be intentional by humans.
