The amount of consultants that are very known and have large presence on developer communities and give a lot of talks and have no idea how to approach real world problems is impressive.
I am now using LLM at 100% at work and producing faster code, while I keep growing my regular skills privately in "old way".
Why? Because when the bubble burst and the companies (including mine) can not pay the 400% price increase and go bankrupt, then I still have keep my brain active and still can do stuff without or less tokens.
The funny thing is, when I got a lead position in my job, I just to do real detailed ticket descriptions, going into technical considerations and possible cross domain problems. I did it for the juniors - and to be honest - for my self, since I know if I took that ticket, from that moment to the moment I put some code down I could just forget stuff.
This was pushed back hard by management because it "took too much time to create a ticket". I fought it for some months but at the end I stopped and also really lose the ability and patience of do that. Juniors suffered, implementation took more time. Time passed.
Now, I am supposed to do the exact same thing, but even better and for yesterday.
What the post fails to understand is that a lot of the "top" people if big companies just doesn't understand the regular user because, well, they do not live a life like the regular users.
