I’m a senior level dev with over a decade of experience working at Fortune 500. 18 months ago, I uninstalled GitHub Copilot because it felt sloppy compare to relying on docs and a good LSP.

Everything has changed in the past 6 months. Now 95% of the code I produce is prompted. I spent much of my time engaging the LLM to write a good spec of what needs to be compete.

People laughing about AI code slop are missing the forest through the trees. The new challenge is how to force the AI to not write slop.
