(The original system that I wrote with one other programmer 20 years ago took 1.5+ years to write. Modern rewrite: 2 days)
Not to be too negative but a lot of modern software complexity is a prison of our own making, that we had time to build because our programs are actually pretty boring CRUD apps with little complex business logic.
How much time to verify and validate that large corpus of code that they generated? Not including back and forth to get rid of hallucinations and other mistakes.
Some part of me feels like LLM generated code is great if one cares about the solution, but leaves a lot to be desired if one actually cares about code quality. Then again, maybe I am just bad as using LLMs -- I prefer the chat over lettings LLMs do the work for me.
