Mine is that the useState hook is an actual plague on the entire React ecosystem. Regardless of your opinions of React, if you wanna use something then use it right.

Using LLMs are not the same as using intellisense or compilers and there are a myriad number of reasons not to use it that could fill an entire book and I will look down on any company or freelance developer that uses it.
Yes I'll fight Linus over this and yes I'll be right.
Fight me (Not literally) LLMs used to give garbage output but nowadays they are actually good and if given in the hands of right person, it can increase the productivity.
You might say productivity increases but salary dosent but that is a mangement issue and does not make LLMs bad.
Every issue I have with the tech has nothing to do with how "useful" it is.
I'd even argue it's only useful in the short term, and extremely harmful in the long term. Not just because of it's fascist origins, but because developing it further is accelerating climate change unnecessarily when we direly need to do the opposite. Climate change will rapidly undo any of the good LLMs manage to accomplish.
Isn't this the most common layman's opinion?
It's also the opinion of people who don't make a habit of drinking the special koolaid.
It's the most common internet opinion, but IRL people use it without a second thought, and will get annoyed if you call them out on it.
EDIT: I don't think this post was talking about laymen to begin with.
There's a reason.
Yup, and I don't care about that reason. It's still an irresponsible technology.
I dunno, I see a lot of people defending Linus even on Lemmy.
It as in LLMs or it as in intellisense?
Most likely LLMs. Most people only warn against intellisense for initially learning coding, or if they work in academia.
Why would anybody be against intellisense? Even for those use cases, it's helpful. (Excluding the code completion from LLMs included ofc)
Not sure tbh, but they exist 😅
