When Firefox added autocorrect, and I started using it, I made it a point to learn what it was telling me was correct, so I could write more accurately. I have since become drastically better at spelling, I still goof, I'm even worse when pronouncing words I've read but never heard. English is my second language mind you.
I think any developer worth their salt would use LLMs to learn quicker, and arrive to conclusions quicker. There's some programming problems I run into when working on a new project that I've run into before but cannot recall what my last solution was and it is frustrating, I could see how an LLM could help with such a resolution coming back quicker. Sometimes its 'first time setup' stuff that you have not had to do for like 5 years, so you forget, and maybe you wrote it down on a wiki, two jobs ago, but an LLM could help you remember.
I think we need to self-evaluate how we use LLMs so that they help us become better Software Engineers, not worse ones.
