I agree that it is probably easier for an LLM to write good code in any framework (like Rails) that has a lot of well-documented opinions about how things should be done. If there is a "right" place to put things, or a "right" way to model problems in a framework, its more likely that the model's opinions are going to line up with the human engineer's opinions.

Also - that's easy for everyone. It's basically a framework so rigid/simple (Those are adjacent concepts for frameworks) that the business logic is almost boilerplate.

That is, so long as you stay inside the guard rails. Ask it to make something in a rails app that's slightly beyond the CRUD scope and it will suffer - much like most humans would.

So it's not that it's bad to let bots do boilerplate. But using very qualified humans for that to begin with was a waste to begin with. Hopefully in a few years none of us will need to do ANY part of CRUD work and we can do only the fun parts of software development.-

But isn't it crazy that while it's been impressively great at translating between human languages from the start, it's incapable of translating these well-documented best-ways-to-do-it things across domains or even programming languages.
