I've been experiencing carpal tunnel on and off for a couple of weeks now. I can tell you that reading through some code generated by "insert llm x" is substantially less painful than writing all of it by my own hand.

Especially if you start understanding how to refine your prompts to the point where you use a single thread for project management and use that thread to generate prompts for other threads.

Not all value to be gained from this is purely copypasta.

Same here. End of last year I had to take more time off than I wanted to because of my wrists and hands. Copilot and GPT4 (combined with good compression braces) got me back in the game.
Take sick leave
Boy, those easy answers are right there! Can't miss 'em.

A guy could wonder why so many of us do not use those answers.

Could it be the details complicate things just enough to take the easy answer off the table?

Perhaps it is just me. What say you?

Do you have a point to make? Maybe I should ask chatgpt to find it because I sure can't.
Yes I do. The point is blurting out some one liner fix all doesn't help anyone really.
