I agree with the conclusion. We are into an unprecedented time and LLMs are going to introduce a class of bugs we might not be equipped to fix quickly. What interesting time to be alive.

It must have been bewildering to encounter such bugs pre-LLM era. This is one skill set newer developers are going to miss out on.

I’m sorry but adding C++ to this mix was an open invitation to such bugs. I can’t imagine what other foot guns the developers encountered during this project.

		Adding C++ to the project wasn't unprecedented TBH. The app was blazing and we didn't have any issues with perf in the project. The app failed for a different reason.
