"AI" coding assistants slow developers down. But they think they've become faster. Dunning-Kruger at work :) (Clarification: Dunning-Kruger has been debunked, but the term is generic enough to be used in this case: describing how we often overestimate our capacities and stay ignorant, even when objective results show we guessed wrong)

Basically same as some(jus some!) of my mentoring experiences: instead of both way teaching and growing it turned into a time sink of epic social distortion.

Maybe LLM can be worked with more like with the more reflective minds in our team. That would promise gain. And I learned a lot from LLM reviewing tbh

But then again, yeah: fool with a tool is still a fool - I do expect lots of tec debt piled up until things settle
