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.

I regularly write code.

My customer gave the go-ahead to use LLM in our project very recently. We'll be trying it out. I'm interested to scope out its use and limitations especially. I'm skeptical it will increase efficiency for me overall. The project is too complex, my/our requirement on quality too high, and I'm thorough to the last var name and code formatting for readability and obviousness. I'm not sure whether I could find it acceptable to compromise on those.

Between customer communication, planning, review-prep, guiding and helping my team members, and doing reviews, and other tasks within the company, time for my own work can be reduced by a lot. Still, I have tasks I work on, and that includes coding.
