It fascinates me with what conviction you are writing this. You don't know any of the people involved nor how they work or the code they produce. Yet you are certain that what I wrote is false.

I'm speculating now, but you are likely imagining that the LLM-produced code is used as-is, producing a growing slop pile. The cases I'm describing are not like that. Those folks know exactly what they want, how the architecture and the code should look like, and they are getting the LLM to produce it like that. There are quite a few iterations and manual polishing steps too. In the end, the code looks like as if they had written it themselves, just that the whole process was 5x as fast because there is so much quite standard stuff automatically added which would just have been slower by hand.

If you have not experienced this yourself then I understand your attitude, but rest assured, this is possible and I'd caution you to dismiss this.
