    It's appalling that we still hold on to such things that are no longer necessary. Code maintainability is not a problem when you don't have to open a file and inspect how something works anymore. You use english to add to it. You sit on chairs everyday where you don't give a shit how they were created. They fulfill their purpose. hopefully the same can be said for your software.

      I am dumb on chair making, as the average chair user. I wouldn't trust myself building a commercial-grade chair.

      If you are as dumb with software as I am with chair making, you should refrain from building software for others. This is regardless of LLM.
