    Man.. just code, let people build, design, adjust. Who cares? Who are these people writing these posts? Why should we give anything they have to say warrant? These posts are getting old, very quick.

      I don't know, we spent the last few years with tons of posts telling us "coding is dead" and the biggest companies in the world telling us our jobs are going to go extinct.

      That mindset has also deteriorated my working environment due to some coworkers buying into it.

      So it's kind of nice to see some sanity checks that align with my beliefs too. I can share articles like this with my teammates. I can see that I'm not alone in thinking most LLM code is slop.

      I think too junior devs NEED to see this. My team had a couple of promising juniors who are now completely brain rotted by AI and can't even write "Hello World" without consulting Claude anymore.

        Yeah I agree. We're still swinging this pendulum. We haven't found the stable equilibrium yet. It's useful for people to keep having this debate.
