When writing code, do you ever feel like you're in a dark small uncomfortable room? Almost like a kind of synesthesia. When the code is nice, clear, and robust, it feels like a comfortable expansive well lit space. When it's messy and tangled, it feels like I'm in a small and uncomfortable space, unable to determine the shape of my boundaries, not knowing where the exit is. Using AI somehow makes this feel worse for me. Accepting Cursor-style changes makes the space I'm in feel less familiar, less consistent. It feels like the shape of the rooms and walls might have shifted but it's too dark to see. Only way to tell is to feel for all the boundaries again, walk the perimeter.

YES. thanks for putting words to this. when a project is going well, the skies are sunny and the paths well-paved no amount of LLM usage will help a poor conceptualization of the problem (and downstream of that, a bad architecture)...and this is why AI isn't taking our jobs i try to make bit-sized changes with the LLM and spend some time on the diff to make sure i know what's going on

That's a good way to put it, LLM tasks are best when they're contained to small well defined rooms, where they can't make too much of a mess and is easy to contain. Maybe for making new empty rooms. Not great for gardens.
