40 pull requests/day merged

In the thread “Ask HN: Go deep into AI/LLMs or just use them as tools?”

Helped: Increased test coverage and splitting tasks into smaller digestible ones.

Got in the way: Most LLMs made lots of mistakes.

It's your choice, but it's definitely not ,,just another tool''. Most of my LLMs made lots of mistakes, but Codex with $200 subscription changed my workflow totally, and now I'm having 40 pull requests/day merged. Treat LLMs as interns, increase your test coverage with them to the point that they can't ruin your codebase and get really good at reviewing code and splitting tasks up to smaller digestible ones, and promote yourself as team leader.
