I'm beginning to get the sense that Sturgeon's Law is at play here and the non-crap 10% of us are arguing with the 90% for whom LLM's shitty output is actually better than what they could do on their own.

I've been lucky enough to work at places with majority intelligent engineers with similar tastes on quality to my own... but it seems to be that's not the norm or the case everywhere.

and it's the 90% that's most vocal. Sturgeon and D-K seen to go hand-in-hand.
