I'm somewhere in between. I'm excited about building more things faster and extending my capabilities. But I also love thinking about the underlying language, runtime, algorithms, the wider system. I want LLMs to enhance this for me, I want my understanding to go up as I write less code. It's also key to my job as a lead that I maintain understanding of the system for debugging, security etc.

So if I can do both with these tools, then great. I want to cognitively offload in a way that allows me to focus on the important bits. And I'm writing instructions to the LLM to help me do that eg 'help teach me this bit'. A builder and tutor at once.

Great approach.

I usually use ChatGPT, as a chat (as opposed to an agent).

It explains everything quite well (if sometimes a bit verbose).

Today, I am going to do an experiment: I’ll be asking it to rewrite the headerdocs in one of my files (I tend to have about a 50% comment/code ratio), so it generates effective docc documentation. I suspect the result will be good.
