I will meet your question with another: why is it so important to you that LLM-driven coding succeed?

You made some good points about users only caring that something works. Perhaps folks who are reluctant to hand everything over to some of the worst people running companies since the Internet has started have reasons for thinking that mass LLM codegen adoption might lead to bad outcomes for users.

Look, if modern LLMs mean I never have to find the lowest performing junior on my team to perform manual data entry because our clients think sending a bunch of PowerPoint decks counts as "giving us their data", that's great. But I've seen the code the latest tools produce. If you're happy shipping code with the LLM imjust straight up doing a SQL injection vuln... IDK, I don't know how to bridge that gap.

I have never seen so many people respond to criticism of a technology as if it were an attack on their own identities as much as I've seen with LLMs. And I used to work in the VR industry.
