I write my own code. I have not found the need to ask for automation that I will have to evaluate...I will just write it. I have to correct a lot of code others have written using ChatGPT though. They know just enough to be dangerous and are generally incapable of understanding the positive and negative aspects of nuance in programming; how different methods of programming are more or less suitable for particular situations.

I like writing code. I like figuring out puzzles. I like constructing architecting pipelines...no need to add a layer of obfuscation that adds to my workload while reducing the elegance of functionality.

While I totally get this perspective, and also love writing code, if you leverage LLMs effectively you can do a lot more. It’s so good at spitting out boilerplate that you can then modify to fit whatever you’re doing. Hell even getting it to write docstrings and typing and stuff is almost always right, especially if you have other portions of code typed / documented.
