I went through a phase with LLMs (as I think most did) in 2023. What’s funny is that as the year progressed, I started to see the limitations and blindspots of AI companions more and more. To the point that I started to write my own code primarily, again.

In fact, what I find them most useful for is to simply automate the boring stuff (looking at you, mapping). My hope for 2024 is some sort of breakthrough for programming with LLMs where they gain some killer functionality. 10x programmer?
