I will not be using LLMs in my coding

Kristian Polso, a machine learning professional with 10 years of experience, has decided to actively avoid using LLMs in his professional coding work, citing concerns about cognitive impact, output quality, and the service-based nature of these tools that outsources work to third-party companies. He references research showing that LLM usage causes "brain fog," reduced cognitive effort, and increased reliance on AI, while noting that the verbose output often masks poor quality code that appears impressive at first glance.
