alt Hacker NewsAs a junior, i do actually enjoy going back and forth with the AI discussing different ways to implement something and exploring alternatives.
More often than not, I'd have an architectural idea that I'm not that confident in. The process of talking with the LLM takes a long time but it helps me sharpen the initial approach or even come up with a new one depending on the requirements.

This is how I do it to and I’m an architect/senior dev. Keep it up!

As a senior, I do the same.

Same. My total agentic session time/effort is about 70/30 discussion vs code-gen. I've got 12 years experience.

This used to be called Pair Programming. And just letting you know, it’s not just juniors… we’re all do this :)

Be sure to explicitly ask for critiques or alternatives. In my experience the machine is really susceptible to a sort of anchoring effect.
