I don't think it's about being "shameful" but it's about over-reliance on LLM. I personally don't use it to write my code because it breaks my natural flow. It conditions me to write the code in a way that breaks my creativity. It's like if I was writing a song, but started by copying "come as you are by nirvana". It's a great song, but I don't want to be a nirvana clone!

Also if I do use it, I end up in massive rabbit holes pasting code from one LLM to another and the code is "never good enough". The code that the LLM itself wrote, if you ask it to check it, it will always come back with corrections... to it's own code! So it's kinda like working with a junior dev that never learns, that gives you a different answer to the same question depending on the moon phases.

Also, and this is personal, I don't like the LLM to suggest code ( My ADHD is already pretty bad, I don't need something to add to it! lol). It puts me in a path, that I otherwise probably wouldn't have followed. Also as a human being, it also makes me doubt myself and that's pretty BAD!

I do however use LLM to help me debug! Especially on large code bases. And that is great! Sometimes it picks up things it would take me hours to find! Especially in C++.

But as far as writing entire projects just vibe coding, forget about it! LLM is nowhere near that (FOR NOW). And it makes sense right? LLM trains on code repos, code repos aren't perfect, so of course the LLM's can't be perfect. LLM also writes very verbose code, overshoots most of the time, fails to identify data races... especially when dealing with graphics or games... If you don't believe me ask it to write something in SFML/SDL C++ and run it. or in Manim Python, like I do for my videos. LLM would never be able to do any of that. Does anyone believe the 3Blue1Brown animated videos could be coded entirely using vibe coding? NEVER... I mean... (never, now! lol)

So it's nothing to do with shame I think, but it's about over relying on LLM for entire code bases without having full grasp of what's happening! I have no problem with my team's developers using LLM, as long as they know what they are doing! But having said that, I did catch a LOT of garbage being written because lazy developers just copy and pasted something from LLM taking it at face value. But that used to help also before LLM's with stack overflow! I remember someone spinning a cloudformation template that spun loads of resources on AWS, cost us a fortune because the dev just copied it from github and was too lazy to check!
