This weekend my old demoscene crew had a meetup at my place. We're from the 80s home computer scene, the greybeards that speak assembler natively and there's not a single algorithm we're not able to implement from scratch.
All of us now use LLM-aids with the experiences that we're much more productive.
(And we're not having them forced upon us, we're choosing to use them and we choose for which projects)
Here are three of my programs that wouldn't have existed without the productivity boost using LLMs have given me:
https://codeberg.org/troed/meshnetmon
https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/lightautomation
https://www.curseforge.com/hytale/mods/pathinator
... a fourth one is coming up shortly, for Nextcloud. Additionally I've done one feature development and fixed one bug in open source projects.
The truth is that LLMs got good at software development around six months ago. Those who claim differently seem to not be developers ...
