On top of this a lot of the “learning to work with LLMs” is breaking down tasks into small pieces with clear instructions and acceptance criteria. That’s just part of working efficiently but maybe don’t want to be bothered to do it.

Working efficiently as a team, perhaps, but during solo development this is unnecessary beyond the extent that is necessary to document the code

Even this opens up a whole field of weird subtle workflow tricks people have, because people run parallel asynchronous agents that step on each other in git. Solo developers run teams now!

Really wild to hear someone say out loud "there's no learning curve to using this stuff".

The "learning curve" is reading "experts opinion" on the ever-changing set of magical rituals that may or may not work but trust us it works.

No, you do not need to trust anyone, you can just verify what works and what doesn't, it's very easy.
