It shocks me when people say that LLMs don't make them more productive, because my experience has been the complete opposite, especially with Claude Code.

Either I'm worse than then at programming, to the point that I find an LLM useful and they don't, or they don't know how to use LLMs for coding.

What do you work on, and what do LLMs do that helps?

(Not disagreeing, but most of these comments -- on both sides -- are pretty vague.)

For once LLMs are good for building game prototypes. When all you care is to check whatever something is fun to play it really doesn'a matter how much of tech debt you generate in process.

And you start from the stratch all the time so you can generate all the documentation before you ever start to generate code. And when LLM slop become overwhelming you just drop it and go to check next idea.
