When I write my own code without an LLM, it is an extension of my own thinking, my own mental model.
But when I use an LLM, that LLM produces code that I need to comprehend, understand. It's like I'm continually reading some other developers' code, and having to understand their mental model and way of thinking to truly understand the code.
For me, this is very tiring. It just costs more energy for me to review and read other people's code than when I write it myself.
