| > "Why is Claude writing TypeScript I'm supposed to read?" 40% of code is now machine-written. That number's only going up. How much of the code is read by humans, though? I think using languages that LLMs work well with, like TS or Python, makes a lot of sense but the chosen language still needs to be readable by humans. |

| Why do people keep saying LLMs work well with high level scripting languages? I've never had a good result. Just tons of silent bugs that are obvious those experienced with Python, JS/TS, etc. and subtle to everyone else. |

| ▲ | sublinear 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Yes "success" as they understand it, and they are always so smug while refusing to show or even discuss the code the LLM produced. A poor craftsman may blame his tools, but some tools really are the wrong ones for the job. | | |
| ▲ | raddan 2 hours ago | parent [-] | | I keep having this nagging suspicion that the biggest AI boosters just aren’t very good programmers. Maybe they cannot see all the subtle bugs. I’m not an amazing coder but I frequently have “wait, stop!” moments when generating code with an LLM. |
