Hugely unpopular opinion on HN, but I'd rather use code that is flawed while written by a human, versus code that has been generated by a LLM, even if it fixes bugs.

I'd gladly take a bug report, sure, but then I'd fix the issues myself. I'd never allow LLM code to be merged.

Any thoughts on why you have that preference?

Because human errors are, well, human. And producing code that contains those errors is a human endeavor. It bases on years, decades of learning. Mistakes were made, experience was gained, skills were improved. Reasoning by humans is relatable.

Generating slop using LLMs takes seconds, has no human element, no work goes into it. Mistakes made by an LLM are excused without sincerity, without real learning, without consequence. I hate everything about that.

		This is ridiculous. You guys think way too highly of yourselves. Code is code. I'm sorry all of your gatekeeping is coming to an end. People whose identities are about "good code" and didn't care about being a good teammate or the business are going to get crushed.

I agree.
