True. I’ve never bought a piece of commercial software and wanted to inspect the source first before making that decision. But I will demand my money back or sue you if your crappy code leaks my personal information, destroys my property, performs worse than advertised, or otherwise harms me in some way. There was sloppy code before LLMs. It’s what they were trained on. And it’s why they generate slop. All that code that was rushed out to meet an arbitrary deadline made up by the sales team, written by junior and lazy senior developers, pushed by the, “code doesn’t matter,” folks. Code written by the enterprise architecture astronauts with a class hierarchy deeper than the Mariana Trench. A few years down the line you get bloated, slow, hard to maintain spaghetti piles of dung. Windows rendering text that stutter when you scroll them. Virtual keyboards that take seconds to pop up. Browser tabs that take more available memory than was available to send astronauts to the moon and back. When humans write it you generally have a few people on a team who are concerned with these things. They try to reign in the slop generating, “always be shipping,” people. You need a mix of both. Because each line of code is a liability as much as it’s a new feature.
