I didn’t ask for this and neither did you. I didn’t ask for a robot to consume every blog post and piece of code I ever wrote and parrot it back so that some hack could make money off o…
People who say they code faster with an LLM just blindly accept the given answer, maybe with a quick glance and some simple testing. Not in depth code review, which is hard and costs time.
It helps me code faster, but I really only outsource boilerplate to an LLM. I will say it also helps with learning the syntax for libraries I’m unfamiliar with just in that I don’t have to go through several pages of documentation to get the answers I need in the moment. The speed-up is modest and nowhere near the claims of vibe coders.

Because this comes up so often, I have to ask, specifically what kind of boilerplate? Examples would be great.
