LLMs have indeed increased developer productivity: now 1 developer with LLM can generate the same amount of technical debt as 100 junior developers.

I have been using AI to remove tech debt faster than ever before.

Similar here, but most of what I've removed was pointless ai generated code that made it through lazy reviewers.

So much dead and useless code generated by these tools... and tens of thousands of lines of worthless tests..

honestly I don't mind it that much... my changed lines is through the roof relative to my peers and now that stack ranking is back........
