This is a fun new position to move the goalposts too, I suppose, but it doesn’t make much sense to me. If I can use AI to plan, implement, test, document, refine, release, and maintain a feature, with review, in 20% of the time it would take me without AI, how exactly does it “defeat the purpose” of using an LLM? My purpose for using the LLM is to solve problems faster, and it does that. What’s yours?

Exactly this. So far it's helped identify blind spots in my thinking, as well as educate me further on the techniques and frameworks I'm already using. It's been tremendously helpful at developing very well thought out _and tested_ software.
