> Analogously, people can write in assembly, but can you write in assembly when the codebase is frequently altered by someone with an optimizing compiler? Yes. There's an interface boundary in the form of function prototypes and ABI rules. To the optimizing compiler, your assembly code is undistinguishable from separately compiled high-level code, and to your assembly code, the compiler output is undistinguishable from separately assembled low-level code. One problem with LLMs, is that they don't respect these boundaries like an optimizing compiler would.
