New ask Hacker News story: I'm Done Using AI

I'm Done Using AI 6 by nyxtom | 0 comments on Hacker News. I think I'm done using LLMs altogether for coding. I've lost the ability to maintain any kind of flow state, the majority of the time I've spent thrashing on architectural changes that I could have done myself, tests that get manipulated into passing, and having to sift through the magic 8-ball of skills that are intended to get work done (all caps dont do this, please do that). LLMs appear to be fruitful as essentially a research search engine but I'm pretty much done with them for coding. This has been an enormously expensive waste of time and to add to it a general atrophy of skill.
