Curious where others might stand.
My day to day “coding” is reviewing, revising and running plans against LLM/code-assistant tools. I juggle around 2-3 sessions of this on various features or tasks at a time.

I often use LLMs to give me code snippets in a language I don’t know.
When I started programming (back in the dark days when StackOverflow was helpful), it took me months to learn a language well enough to do what I wanted, and I had several weeks where I would be frustrated that I just couldn’t find what I was doing wrong, or what was the name for what I wanted so I could search for it.
AI has allowed me to drastically speed up my learning time for new languages, at the expense of me not really understanding much. I’ll accept that compromise if I just want one script, but it’s a hard habbit to drop when actual understanding is needed.
Aside from telling me what language features exist, or showing me the correct syntax (exactly what a language model is designed for), I have found AI is mostly just confidently wrong.
