People are building bots to do the most legible thing possible which is feature in X amount of time. But it doesn't matter if the bottleneck is human thinking time required to output quality code rather than X amount of code written.

I am so much faster with the bots. If you're not faster with the bots then either you write very very little code, or you're doing it very wrong. Tactically they outsmart me 10-100x if you account for the write speed. Even if you just consider the knowledge of languages, libraries, patterns they clearly outperform me. Strategically I do not trust them at all, poor things suck at it, mainly because they always try to take the shortest possible path to the current destination.

And if you think that your personal protest against the automation will in any way affect the direction in which the industry goes then you're delusional. You would have to start something like a political party and collect way more people.

Wake me up when LLMs help me write better code and let me understand the codebase, and not before. Not faster, not more productive, but a more comprehensible codebase that I can reason in my own head.

Otherwise, if they write so much better code, than it's pointless to have a human in the loop.

You will develop quite a lot of illnesses sleeping for this long, but your choice I suppose. Who knows, maybe it happens as soon as next year. I would strongly suggest living a life, any life really, instead of waiting like that.

I use LLM, extensively in fact. I just don't see the value in using the LLMs the way people are using it right now.
