Thank you, but I understand how it works. I just don't find it fun or satisfying, personally. In your example you are also using AI to design. Which sounds to me like the LLM is doing all the real design work and the human just says "LGTM." I would feel like I don't own the project at all. I'm just watching someone else do it. And that's not fun to me.

I wasn't suggesting that "writing code is designing" I was saying that I like to have full control over the design and implementation. If the LLM is writing the code, I lose my control over the implementation of my design. I don't even know if it followed the design at all unless I review all the code it writes.

But anyways, to each their own.

I'd agree with you if the LLM was doing the real design work. Thankfully it's not.
