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.
