  • GenAI replaces a lot of thinking. It is not on the same scale as those other tools. With an LLM, I can easily submit big chunk of code that does a thing, without understanding anything about how or why it does it. That’s not possible with just an IDE. Writing is a form of thinking that gives a much deeper unserstanding than reading and you dont get that with an LLM. That thought-bypass can rapidly become a maintainability issue, and increases the risk of major bugs going undetected.
