Umm, yeah.

Obviously the neckbeard who wrote C in vim and compiled when he is done is a better coder than the one who kept compiling and fixed issues when told by the compiler.

The neckbeards that wrote C did so precisely because they saw how C was a better way to get things done, and they were probably the first people to start using compilers, because, again, they're the ones that built them.

The neckbeards that wrote C tend to view LLMs as the obvious next step, and a lot of them actively use them for hobby projects even if they're not quite "maintain the Linux Kernel" tier yet.
