For me LLMs are like programming power tools. Use them wrong and you can hurt yourself. Use them right and you can accomplish far more in the same amount of time.
People that refuse to program with AI or intellisense or any other assistance are like carpenters who refuse to build furniture with power saws and power drills. Which is perfectly fine, but IMO that choice doesn't really affect the artistry of the final product

Fun analogy because if you're especially negligent you can injure yourself so badly you'll make programming forever more difficult than it needs to be or end your career altogether - like with a tablesaw cutting off fingers.
