Developers Debate LLMs Impact On Coding

Developers and observers are reporting mixed experiences with large language models for coding in recent social posts and the Stack Overflow 2025 Developer Survey. Users praise faster prototyping and up to ~30% faster feature-to-production cycles with tools like Claude Code and Gemini, while also reporting frequent hallucinations, incorrect APIs, and accumulating "almost right" technical debt. Teams must balance speed gains against reliability and review overhead.
