It's really hard to hear about how helpful LLMs are when I deal with the opposite multiple times per day now. There are techniques experienced developers use to get better LLM results, but that's not simple and so approximately no one does it. Everyone who talks about how to use them correctly is a rounding error compared to the total number using them.
