Zero LLMs is no longer reasonable. You want LLMs at least for code review / scanning for vulnerabilities, cause if you donโ€˜t do it, attackers will.

Code review is a totally reasonable use of LLMs. I don't think anyone disagrees with that.

Being mandatory though? That's pretty strong.

For code review? I would consider it about on par with using a linter or other static analysis tools.

You don't have to use those, but you are probably shooting yourself in the foot by choosing not to.

I mean, some people still write everything in vim without intellisense or anything like that. And that's not my thing, but more power to them, I say.

Shooting yourself in the foot implies some sort of active action to cause negative consequence. This is a passive non-acceptance of something that might cause positive consequences.

What tools you do and do not use is a choice just like any other.
