"It’s not that you could cut the combined complexity in half, but more likely that you could bring it down to at least one-tenth of what it is today, if not even better. It would function better, be more reliable, and would be far more resilient to change. It would likely cost far less and require fewer employees as well. All sorts of ugly problems that they have now would just not exist."

Incidentally this highlights a problem when using chatbots to build large software projects that are intended to be used for a long period of time.

The key is not how much code you can add but how little you can get away with.

Chatbots only solution ever is to ADD code. They're not good at NOT writing code or even deleting it because after all the training set for the lines of code that do not exist is an empty set. Therefore it's impossible to train a robot to not write code.

What's better than generating 10kloc really fast? Not having it in the first place.
