Curious where others might stand.

My day to day “coding” is reviewing, revising and running plans against LLM/code-assistant tools. I juggle around 2-3 sessions of this on various features or tasks at a time.

My job is 50% coding and 50% delegating/meetings/etc...

We have an issue where we have a VERY proprietary language/system that is very difficult for llms to work with. And the new devs are getting frustrated because copilot keeps trying to push an adjacent language lol. They are ligitimitly having issues coding without llms anymore.

I see this all the time with CAPL, copilot gets close but messes so much up its not worth it. Not enough on stack overflow to train it, and until recently the docs weren't even available online to crawl.
