I am trying to see something. Where you went into your codebase and wrote a function, and did not use AI.

Today just before dinner. LLMs can do some things, but they turn out way too shtty code, and spend 30 mins to not be able to come up with a way to write anything other than trivial, at least the ones authorized at my workplace. YMMV.

I did not write a full function in the last 4 months. But 3 lines the AI just did not get right autonomously.
