David Anderson - Some thoughts on LLM coding
2026-02-10
The psychology of LLMs use worries me deeply. It’s a system that could not be better designed to encourage harmful behaviors if you tried, because it mixes a couple of very potent psychological traps. And it’s further being pushed by a large amount of venture money, and being co-opted by grifters with vested interests.
Please try to be vigilant for these risks as you engage with these tools, both for the sake of whatever future we’re building, and for your own mental health.
