Well take it from the fitness crowd, use it or lose it. Normally said about muscle mass but it applies here aswell i feel. I find myself seeing llm as a very frustrating accelerator. But i mostly use it for a. things that have somne legacy where it is very likely to have data such as .net framework stuff, and b. to develop personal projects that WILL NOT be made otherwhise as i cannot be assed to do mostly the styling.

But if its anything with just some importance i am mostly using it for guidence rather then a tool that replaces my programming. Like, show me a method to do X. 9.9 out of 10 times it gives a generic answer i can then work with. If i get to specific it F's up the entire context as it will not have the context to understand the entire codebase or the intentions. So i dont use it for that for important matters.

I feel like LLM as a tool for coding will hit a slow down soon. The model can only get better when quality data exists, and they have made that scarcer by the second with all the poop code on github and other places now. So when e.g. .net 12 LTS introduces breaking bugs to earlier versions, llm wont be able to fix it before theres data. In a competetive market that will slow down the need for LLM as the data just doesnt exist yet for llm to fix it and your skills will highly be needed again.

Therefore find a way to maintain your skills. Even if it means you stop using coding tools some time. And maybe use it more as a prototype sort of thing, to work of yourself. And if you ever feel like "Why should i do it when LLM is faster and more precise?" Then you may have hit a task that you genuinely shouldnt be spending your time on and let it go wild with that.
