 the LLM programmer cannot escape the loop. Which leads to frustration and a lower job satisfaction for many. 
 
 Programming is a skill, not knowledge, and can't be learned like you learn about WW2. It is a craft, learned through practice,
 not a theory to be memorized. You need to learn programming by doing  it with your hands many months, which is time that the LLM programmer doesn't have.
 
+AI does help mid and senior software engineers, who know how to get from 90% to 100% by themselves, but it is a frustrating tool for junior developers.
