Well, OP bar seems super high. Because it isn't entirely perfect in order to allow a non-dev to create apps that doesn't make them "pretty bad" imo.

It's terrible. The biggest issue is dependencies, but we've solved it by whitelisting what they are sllowed to use in the pipelines along with writing the necessary howtos.
The thing I should have made clearer is probably that I think the horrible code is great. Yes it's bad, but it's also a ton of services and automation which would not have been made before LLM's, because there wouldn't have been enough developer time for it. Now it being terrible code doesn't mean the sollution itself is terrible for the business. You don't need software engineering until you do, and compute is really cheap on this scale. What do we care their code runs up €5 a year if it adds thousands of euros worth of value?
It's only when something stops working. Usually because what started out as a small thing grows into something where it can't scale that we take over.
