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.

That's a rather unkind comment.

For the parent there's immaterial value knowing that is written by a human. From what I read in your comment, you see code more as a means to an end. I think I understand where the parent is coming from. Writing code myself, and accomplishing what I set out to build sometimes feels like a form of art, and knowing that I build it, gives me a sense of accomplishment. And gives me energy. Writing code solely as a means to an end, or letting it be generated by some model, doesn't give that same energy.

This thinking has nothing to do with not caring about being a good teammate or the business. I've no idea why you put that on the same pile.

Friendly suggestion: your post contains a mix of interesting points and ad hominim attacks.

People will be more likely to engage with your main assertion if you leave out the insults.
