I love how so many people are eager to criticize LLM code, when in fact, according to my experience it is pretty superior to anything I have seen produced by human programmers, most of the time. It is documented, the code is explained at each step of its creation, and it is pretty readable when you dig into it. I have 30 years of experience in coding, and I have been playing with these LLM for 3 years. Yeah!!! Of course, sometimes they produce very bad code. But in average, the code they produce is largely on par with my fellow humans. And since, they produce the whole explanation of it, it takes a couple of minutes to understand it. And if you don't understand the main points of the code, the LLM will tell you all about it. When did you have a colleague that was eager to explain his/her code to you??? When did you have a colleague that did produce a code you could understand in a few minute??? I really think these tools are quite useful, no need to wrap yourself into the mantel of expertise and look down on these LLM, because sometimes they will produce a code you don't like. |
