Yes, that was a weird one for me, too. I've always thought of programming as, at its purest form, a solitary activity. "Pair Programming" and "Programming Teams" are ideas companies graft onto the activity, or force on us, to build bigger things. At its core, programming is a single person, typing commands into a computer.

Working with an LLM doesn't really feel like programming at all. It's more like telling an intern to program, which some might like, but I find totally unsatisfying and not anything like programming.
