Yeah, I think it matters a lot what type of work you do. I have to jump between projects a lot that are all in different languages with a lot of codebases I'm not deeply familiar with. So for me, LLMs are really useful to get up-to-speed on the knowledge I need to work on new projects.

If I've got a clear idea of what I want to write, there's no way I'm touching an LLM. I'm just going to smash out the code for exactly what I need. However, often I don't get that luxury as I'll need to learn different file system APIs, different sets of commands, new jargon, different standard libraries for the new languages, new technologies, etc...
