At my job in 2023, after the staff engineers quit, new-hire engineers backed by new-hire managers pushed through a series of 5,000-10,000 line GPT 3.5 PRs affecting ludicrously convoluted, critical Makefiles designed and maintained by engin

This site aggressively suppresses any criticism of LLMs, especially LLM generated/"assisted" code.

Let me guess: AGI is 2-6 weeks away, software development is solved, and anyone who disagrees with your enlightened perspective is a backwards-looking luddite.

I would start looking for a new job if I heard that my company hired someone who wasn't able to prove that they could write code without LLM assistance. A lot of people like that are legitimately illiterate.
