Frankly, its fine more often than we may care to admit.
As the parent comment suggested, UI elements are a great candidate for this. Often very similar (how many apps have a menu bar, side bar, etc) and full of boilerplate. And at the rate things change on the front-end, it's often a candidate for frequent re-writes, so code quality and health don't need to be as strict.
It'd be nice if every piece of software ever written was done so by wise experts with hand-crafted libraries, but sometimes it's just a job and just needs to be done.
- Rumudiez 2y agoUI is a terrible example to make your point. Tell me you don’t know frontend development… Accessibility, cross browser+platform support, design systems, SEO, consistency and polish, you name it. You are most certainly not getting that from an LLM and most engineers don’t know how or don’t have a good eye for it to catch when the agent has gone astray or suggested a common mistake
- pquki4 2y agoYou definitely have a point, but the reality is that LLMs are about as good as an "average" UI developers in some cases -- lots of people who work on UI every day think very little about accessibility and don't understand if their code actually runs in a non-chromium browser.
