So in your case, not only is the LLM coding assistant not making you faster, it's actively impeding your productivity and the productivity of your stakeholders. That sucks, and I'm sorry you're having to put up with it.

I'm lucky that in my day job, we're not (yet) forced to use LLMs, and the "AI coding platform" our upper management is trying to bring on as an option is turning out to be an embarrassing boondoggle that can't even pass cybersecurity review. My hope is that the VP who signed off on it ends up shit-canned because it's such a piece of garbage.
