“ I'm finding that developing prompts, managing context, controlling pace, staying organized and being able to effectively review the LLM's work are required skills for LLM-assisted coding “

Did you not need all these skills / approaches / frameworks for yourself / coding with a team?

This is , I think, the key difference in those (such as myself) who find LLMs to massively increase velocity / quality / quantity of output and those who don’t.

I was already highly effective at being a leader / communicator / delegating / working in teams ranging from small , intimate , we shared a mental model / context up to some of the largest teams on the planet.

If someone wasn’t already a highly effective IC/manager/leader pre LLM, an LLM will simply accelerate how fast they crash into the dirt.

It takes substantial work to be a highly effective contributor / knowledge worker at any level. Put effort into that , and LLMs become absolutely indispensable, especially as a solo founder.



> I was already highly..

I stopped reading right here. Presumably other people did too. I don't think you're aware of the caliber of your hubris. About howitzer sized.

Quite the selling point.


Needs/more/slashes.


> mental model / context

I can't can't read that but 'mental model' and 'mental context' and need to backtrack.

Atleast overuse of parentheses is balanced and nestable.
