Just figure out where they're good, keep them on a short leash, and you're at the head of the pack.

I try to use them as fast typists not as problem solvers. I do enjoy the act of typing out code sometimes, but I can remember so many instances where I knew exactly what I wanted to do but dreaded the act of slowly retyping, copying, pasting, and re-organizing code to make it happen.

That's the kind of thing that can happen asynchronously. I can get around to it when I'm ready for it. You'll need to discount many of the issues it raises but that process is fairly quick. Even if 9/10 of its issues are noise you still come out ahead.
A simple tool that does this as a cronjob, discounts issues you've already set to ignore, and presents them as a list would be very simple and easy to make. I'll get around to that eventually.

I was talking with a programmer yesterday who told me using LLMs made him feel like he was acquiring ADHD. He said he was trying to manage 3+ agents at once. When programming I only ever use one at a time and tend to make smaller requests so that I maintain an understanding of the code and where we are in the project. I want to be the one driving the LLM, not the other way around. I described how I use them as tools to help me produce higher quality work in less time and he started asking about what I was doing with my CLAUDE.md file, skills, MCPs, etc. (there's a midwit meme about this exact thing). I barely touch the stuff. It shouldn't have to be said, but don't use a tool in a way that makes you feel mentally ill.

They used an LLM to create a pull request. The human got insecure when it was rejected. The human used an LLM to write a blog post. The human received a response from the OP and had an LLM apologize. Yes, LLMs have displayed creative manipulation tactics in scenarios simulated by AI labs. But they almost always do their best to glaze and agree.
I’ve seen LLM-maxxing humans display similar behavior before. Like with many tools it becomes an extension of your self. Think about how you gain an intuition for the size of a car you’re driving. People attach themselves and their pride to the outputs of their prompts. So when the outputs are mediocre and should have had more review they attack the people that point it out.

Ask an LLM how to set things up and how things work but don’t let it write your code for you. I recommend using bun instead of node.

Once you learn how to handle the problematic bits it’s really really nice. Not suited for all tasks but great for UI, event driven, or IO bound tasks.
I put it above all other interpreted/JITed “scripting” languages. Yes, better than Python. Better than Ruby.

Pretty sure more than 0.1% of people are transgender. Sounds like they are way less likely to be a mass shooter? I hope trans people are given the reputation they've earned for being statistically less violent.
Anecdotally, 100% of the trans people I know or have met are pretty chill.

It's possible this breaks your existing books and armor stands but if it's truly the updated version of the last one it should handle the upgrade.
