I am an experienced software dev, and I am telling you this as clearly as I can: human generated code is oftentimes buggy, indecipherable slop.

You need to put 80% in context. There's a reason why FizzBuzz lasted as long as it did - lots of developers, even senior devs, are terrible at writing code, subjected to absurd time constraints, or required to color inside the lines of a leaky abstraction. Sometimes all three!

I've seen many situations at my current job where asking an LLM to do a refactoring made things much better - but if I had to do it by hand I'd just give up and move on to more essential work.
