I don't use LLMs at all. To be honest, I've been waiting years to "get left behind" now and it still hasn't happened. The main things I've noticed are that (a) like you said, LLMs have destroyed any culture of actually talking about programming and learning/sharing things; and (b) the quality of my coworkers' output has dropped proportionally to how excited they are about LLMs, and they've no longer able to answer questions about it during video calls. I wonder how much of their "productivity boost" is just those of us who still care fixing their shitty slop code... Oh, and I guess (c) that I spend more and more time trying to pull meaning out of a mountain of LLM prose that someone sent me, which is utterly soul-crushing.
