LLMs are awesome, but sometimes we'd be better off with more friction. This is because.. sometimes an idea is just bad. I learned the hard way the other day when I filed this PR against prek: https://github.com/j178/prek/pull/2302 My idea was bad. The implementation was meant to solve my problem. All it did was expose more problems and waste my time and the maintainer's, and god knows how many tokens from Claude and Codex. In the end the PR was useless so I closed it. The maintainer and I would have both been better off - less time wasted - if I was forced to forever wonder if the idea was good, letting it bounce around the back of my mind.
In The LLM Critics Are Right. I Use LLMs Anyway
