    Python is my primary language. For the way I write code and solve problems, it’s the language where I need the least help from an LLM. Python lets you write code that is incredibly concise while still being easy to read. There’s more of a case to be made for something like Go, since it seems like every single god damned function call ends up being variable, err := someFuckingShit() and then a if err!=nil and manually handling it instead of having nice exception handling. Even there, my IDE does that for me without requiring a computationally expensive LLM to do the work.

    Like, some people have a more conversational development style and I guess LLMs work well for them. I end up constantly context switching between code review mode and writing code mode which is incredibly disruptive.
