You learnt (or should have learnt) that the strategy taken by the llm was a poor one. You then explore why it didn't work, and what would have been a better approach. You think about the structure of your code base, the issues you still need to solve, and then you roll back and start again - this time prompting a different approach.

I love coding. I've always loved coding. But coding with llms has helped me step back and see the overall design of a project better. And llms know tricks I didn't, and some of these are neat, and now I know them too. So, personally, I feel like I'm still learning, a lot. It's just a different way of learning - and one that makes coding interesting all over again.

(That said, I cannot use agentic systems and embed myself fully in the loop, and still code myself. Sometimes its faster to code the next change manually, sometimes it's faster to guide an llm. But it's still interesting, and it's even more fun, at least to me.)
