the way i use llms right now is asking questions to claude in a browser (I have @c setup as a shortcut to search claude in chrome) its biggest wins for me have been writing short scripts or answering arcane techincal questions about common things like web standards (ex: css stacking contexts or 3rd party cookie behavior under different CSPs)

beyond this i’m unsure of what else it can do for me right now the most time consuming part of the coding work that feels rote is translating from figma files to frontend components but even this isn’t that time consuming and i have trouble imaging how the llm makes this go faster

do you approach a dev goal with multiple ways in mind consciously, or does the best one amongst those come naturally to you

more of the later, most of the coding I do right now is in areas where i have a lot of experience and most of my thinking is on the product level instead of implementation i could certainly see how learning a new language would be something that an llm would make significantly easier

a major shortcoming of llms rn is not comprehensive enough to shortcut experience, but this does not affect you rather, llms might be able to provide doubt for product-level thinking. maybe ask for counterpatterns, or cast the llm as a product stakeholder or user, etc.
