> You can also go in and fix the issues yourself, but if you're working with an unfamiliar API in an unfamiliar domain, then you still have to do the traditional task of reading the documentation and web searching, which defeats the purpose of using an LLM to begin with.

Oh, see, this is where I disagree. I think it's incredibly helpful to get past the "blank page". Yes, I do usually end up going and reading docs, but I also have a much better sense of what I'm looking for in the docs and can use them more effectively.

I feel like this is the same pattern with every new tool. Google didn't replace reference books, but it helped me discover the right ones to read much more easily. Similarly, LLM based tools are not replacing reference texts, but they're making it easier for me to spin up on new things; by the time I start reading the docs now, I'm usually past the point of needing to read the intro.
