I'm not sure if that's a criticism or praise - I mean, most people strive for readable code.

LLM generated code reminds me of perl's "write-only" reputation.

  • Does it really? Because I see some quite fine code. The problem is assumptions, or missing side effects when the code is used, or getting stuck in a bad approach "loop" - but not code quality per se.

  • In all honesty I've only used LLMs in anger with Go, and come away (generally speaking) happy with what it produced.
