"Additionally, I’ve been writing software for a living for almost 30 years, and I could say the exact same thing about a lot of human generated code I’ve reviewed during that time. I don’t even know how often I’ve explained basic stuff like “security goes in the backend, not in the frontend” to humans."

This is the part I find so funny, as if all humans, hell all DEVS are actually capable of writing perfect code every time. Edit: (Reread and realized I didn't phrase this right) Whereas a normal-lower end dev wouldnt be able to write that program in less time than an LLM could whip up a similarly buggy program.

Like do y'all (expert coders who write things like this article) interact with software outside of what you actually write? I've literally never worked with a larger program that didn't have some kind of bug or strange behavior, it's just how it goes.

I do think it's an interesting dynamic we are seeing play out, I've been wanting to learn and get better at code and this is simultaneously a great time to learn and a horrible time to learn lmao.
