If you haven't already, I would recommend getting first hand experience with LLM-assisted coding. Using it to modify existing code is very different from using it to do "Vibe coding", where you generate large amounts of code without even reading it. In general the code produced by the LLM is very specific to the context : - the existing code being modified - the technologies in use and the general context (Debian) - the change being asked And it's also mostly about incremental modifications to a codebase. So the amount of lines added at a time is low. It's almost never about adding many lines of code from (likely) the same source. It's more like copy-pasting three different 2-lines snippets from documentations or stackoverflow, adjusting them to your context, and assembling them together, except the LLM does it for you. Lucas
