>I'm not sure whether I'm a "good programmer" or a "bad programmer" but sometimes I just want a problem to go way in the quickest way possible.
True. Most programmers would think the same, at times.
>I'm not always trying to create a timeless, perfect, jewel
No one is, most of the time. Only, some people try to create somewhat good things some of the time, even given constraints.
>and there is a limit to how much I want to follow every highway and byway needed to do stuff across several dozen languages, libraries, platforms and frameworks.
Who has the time to do it, unless one is independently wealthy, so don't need to work, and is programming just for fun (although many of us do it for fun, part-time at least).
Yes, my sentiments exactly, and I am sure it's that of many other programmers, too.
The abstraction upon abstraction upon abstraction (Howdy, Java, but not only it) and the combinatorial explosion of technologies X their version(iti)s, is hell - like DLL hell on Windows, except much worse.
>Some days I'm just tired.
So yeah, I hear you, dude, and feel your pain.
But the topic and argument was about whether llms reduce that pain enough to be worthwhile. I guess the answer is: different strokes for different folks.
