> Except this code is being deployed, and it is still (mostly) functional, at least functional enough to satisfy your employer (their “hunger” in your analogy).

Bzzzt. Wrong. I don't give a fuck who's satisfied by my code. I only care about writing it.

> Because your employer is convinced that it can do the job they want it to

Bzzzt. Wrong. The code is incorrect because it is not precisely the code I would have written.

LLMs are useless to me because they don't solve the problem of actually typing the code I've written into a computer.

Thing is, companies don’t care if it’s not your code or your view of it. If it works, that’s what they want. Since I stopped typing code I’ve been using my time to play some video games, read some books etc while the agents do the boring stuff (work itself). I get paid, the company is more productive, I got a bonus and a raise, everyone’s happy.

Again, unless you’re the employer, then you’re getting paid by someone that cares more about productivity than whether you think LLMs produce incorrect code.

All that matters is whether they agree with you.

The only control you have over this is to either a) work for yourself, or b) keep looking until you find an employer that agrees with you.

My argument is that the number of employers that fall under (b) is shrinking.
