I often think of LLMs as a really smart junior developer - full of answers, half correct, with zero wisdom but 100% confidence

I'd like to think most developers know how to say "I don't know, let's do some research" but in reality, many probably just take a similar approach to the LLM - feign competence and just hack out whatever is needed for today's goal, don't worry about tomorrow.

Nah LLMs are nothing like really smart junior developers.

Really smart junior developers actually have a shot at learning better and moving on from this stage.
