I will not be using LLMs in my coding

What HN thinks

A eulogy for hand-written code, delivered to a room arguing about whether the corpse ever passed its tests.

Refusing LLMs means leaving the profession
Many argue AI coding is inevitable and economically required, likening refusal to sticking with hand tools or a horse and cart while competitors ship far faster.
Unreviewed AI code is a liability
Others say passing tests hides braindead implementations, hardcoded benchmarks and security regressions, and that people who never read the code can't judge its quality.
It's a spectrum, use it selectively
A middle group reviews critical code carefully, lets agents handle tooling and side projects, and worries about skill atrophy and the lost joy of problem solving.

Consensus: No real consensus; most agree LLMs are now widespread in industry, but they split sharply on whether output quality and productivity gains are real without human review.

Recommended in the comments

OpenCode (tool): Cited as an agent harness people use for most of their coding, though also for its mishaps.
Claude (service): Used by several commenters for large refactors and clearing technical debt.
Flet (library): One commenter used it to prototype a CNC box generator after its 1.0 release.
OpenSCAD (tool): Used alongside LLM prototyping to model and verify CNC designs.

Hi everyone, Wanted to share a game I built. It's called Unscramble! and I believe it's the simplest word building game. Rules: You get a few letters on screen. You need to make one word with all the letters. Tap a letter to select. Tap again to deselect. Faster you go, better y…

Some of my kitchen appliances are LG and I installed the LG ThinQ app on my phone. Sometimes I like to leave a cold dish in the oven before I go out then remotely start it when I’m on my way back home, so I arrive to a nice hot dinner. After a recent HN post about LG malware and…
