> LLMs still aren't good at writing maintainable code.

I find that depends on the target language. They can be good at writing maintainable code, but not consistently across every language.

The languages beginners usually gravitate towards are especially hard for LLMs to produce quality output for. Presumably this is due to the training data including all the unmaintainable codebases written by beginners in those languages, which hasn't allowed the LLM to converge on recognizing what a maintainable codebase looks like in those languages.
