Have we forgotten that we advanced in software by building on the work of others?
- bgwalter 1y agoThey are not building on the work of others, they are taking the laundered work of others.
- ang_cire 1y agoThis belies the way that LLM code is being used. People aren't taking LLM code and then thoughtfully refactoring and improving it, they're using it to *avoid* doing that, by treating the generated code as though it's already had that done. That's why the pro-LLM-code people in this very thread are talking about using it to automate away the parts of the coding they don't like. You really think they're then going to go back and improve on the code past it minimally working? There will be no advancement from that, just mediocre or bad code going unreviewed and ignored until it breaks.
