My work is better than it has been for decades. Now I can finally think and experiment instead of wasting my time on coding nitty-gritty detail, impossible to abstract. Last autumn was the game changer, basically Codex and later Opus 4.5; the latter is good with any decent scaffolding.
I have to admit, LLMs do save a lot of typing a d associated syntax errors. If you know what you want and can spot and fix mistakes made by the LLM then they can be pretty useful. I don’t think it’s wise to use them for development if you are not knowledgeable enough in the domain and language to recognize errors or dead ends in the generated code though.
