Yeah but that's just bad code in general, no? You can make good code with LLMs, you just have to actually engineer it and give up some of the velocity; which is just a bigger version of the same problem we've always had (yes, I get that code review can't scale).

This is just really silly.

The more I think about this the more I think it's like self-driving cars. We have this expectation that self-driving cars MUST be 101% safe and never get into any accidents, ever, before the technology is worth adopting. LLMs are the same -- it's like we think if you can't one-shot a prompt and get perfect software out of it, it's failed. You can choose to spend time getting the LLM to refine the code it's written, review the architecture, come up with an actual engineering process around the LLM. Yes that means you'll be producing less code per time spent -- which is a good thing.
