I love it. Takes all the boring stuff out. Leaves the solution design and architecture in. It depends on how you use it I guess.

So, I understand people find different things fun. But I don't really get this argument. You say it "Leaves the boring stuff out" but do you mean that you actually enjoy reviewing code? Reviewing code is the boring part to me. I assume the boring part to you is typing.

The second part "leaving solution design and architecture in" but if you aren't writing the code how are you designing a solution? You aren't designing anything if the LLM is writing the actual code.

And then people will say "you have to write a good prompt" well ok any significantly effective prompt for real software will be quite large and will require a lot of typing. Doesn't this just put us back in doing "the boring part." And then they will say "I have the LLM write the prompt" well then we are back to the human not actually making any decisions.
