I like using LLMs more as coding assistents than have them write the actual code. When I am thinking through problems of code organization, API design, naming things, performance optimization, etc., I found that Claude 3.7 often gives me great suggestions, points me in the right direction and helps me to weigh up pros and cons of different approaches.

Sometimes I have it write functions that are very boilerplate to save time, but I mostly like to use it as a tool to think through problems, among other tools like writing in a notebook or drawing diagrams. I enjoy programming too much that I’d want an AI to do it all for me (it also helps that I don’t do it as a job though).
