    LLMs will always fail to help developpers because reviewing is harder than writting. To review code effectivly you must know the how and why of the implementation in front of you and LLMs will fail to provide you with the necessary context. On top of that a good review evaluate the code in relation to the project and other goal the LLM will not be able to see.

    The only use for LLM in coding is as an alternative search bar for stackoverflow

      I’d argue it can also be useful as a form of autocomplete, or writing whatever boilerplate code; that still isn’t outsourcing your thinking to the text predictor.

        When I tried the autocomplete in IntelliJ it kept trying to guess what I wanted to do instead of autocompleting what I was typing so I don’t know about that part.

        Still millions of ton of CO2 for a search bar and autocomplete doesn’t seems like a good idea.
