Honestly I just don’t remember the names of methods and without my IDE I’d be a lot less productive than I am now. Are IDEs a problem?

The bit about “people don’t really know how things work anymore”: my friend I grew up programming in assembly, I’ve modified the kernel on games consoles. Nobody around me knocking out their C# and their typescript has any idea how these things work. Like I can name the people in the campus that do.

LLMs are a useful tool. Learn to use them to increase your productivity or be left behind.
