    Without watching this I would say it depends on the organization you're in. You should always be writing code by hand to some extent either way to keep your mind sharp. I was just at an event and met engineers from plenty of orgs that are okay with 'human-paced' output. Not every org will be like this.

    It's kind of a wish-washy video, but I'd double down and say that if you are looking to be a professional programmer, you will fall behind if you don't use LLM tooling. You will also be behind if are new and never learn how to program, or have your brain atrophy so much that you forget. That's life - you have to keep things in a delicate balance - that goes for almost anything.

    And if you are not trying to be a professional programmer, it doesn't matter, just like how you can do pottery and make things that are worse than $10 porcelain you buy at target and it doesn't matter, that wasn't the point.
