It takes about 2 months of coding with an LLM to get reasonably good at it

The neophyte
- doesn't have a fine tuned system prompt
- has a wildly untuned feel for what the bot can do? Is it stupid? Is it a silicon omniscient god-in-a-box? Neophytes gravitate to the extremes
- needs a greenfield project (human written code has context window problems)
- needs tests or some other "objective function"

For humans, "worked once on my machine" is often good enough. For bot written code, it is not.

Self-replies

So the articles that says, "people wrote code with bots and it was bad" I'm still reading it as "people who didn't know how to write code with a bot demonstrated that they didn't know how to use a bot"
