> The result would be worse code, probably. Also probably still good enough.

And that's because the definition of "good enough" is drifting towards "crappy", has been for decades, now accelerated by the AI.

Was thinking the other day how the bars of quality for software pre-Internet was so much higher just because any small software shop only ever had one shot: ship your software on floppy disks, with practically no chance to patch and fix bugs later. People either like your 1.0 or they don't and that's your whole business story.

Then came the Internet, bug fix updates became so much easier, and with it came crappification and bugs-as-a-norm attitude.

And now this.

Not whining, just stating the facts.
