I see my colleagues now writing programs with LLMs. I don't look forward to the day I'll have to debug a larger corpus of this mess.
Obviously you've never had to herd junior developers. I have had to. It sucks and productivity is woeful due to all the checking and unit testing and such, plus they quite often have comprehension problems and are unable to follow instructions - and I'm talking about honours graduates in IT.
Now I am more productive than literally 10 junior developers. Me and Claude that is. The difference is I know how to code and how to craft instructions to smart LLMs like Claude.
You point is more valid if you are referring to the crap that is produced by junior to junior to intermediate programmers being assisted by Code Pilot. It's truly awful and yet another evil trick by Micro$oft
