Here's how I use LLMs to help me write code

The king of LLM blogging, Simon Willison, has a great overview on using LLMs to write code.

Using LLMs to write code is difficult and unintuitive. It takes significant effort to figure out the sharp and soft edges of using them in this way, and there’s precious little guidance to help people figure out how best to apply them.

Even if you’re not sold on how LLMs can boost your development, I’d highly recommend that learning to manipulate them to your benefit is a skill worth learning.
