IMO one of the core functional issues (There are plenty of non-functional ones too, of course) with people who use LLMs for writing code is: It strips away friction.
You can’t first “make the change easy”, if you never realize the change was hard to begin with, because you never felt the friction of trying to make the change yourself.
LLMs rob us of one of *the* core signals to whether our code is working with us, or against us.
