> I don't understand how even today software engineers are calling LLM written code slop? It's objectively much better than what most of the engineers write, and it's not stopping to get better. If you still believe this, try out any frontier model on any work that you are currently doing, that should change your mind. There still are like 1% of cases where LLMs are not that good, but even there almost all of the time the issue is in the engineer's steering, not the LLM
I don't understand how anyone can say this with a straight face. And how you automatically assume that anyone who has this opinion, is just doing it wrong by not using the latest models.
"The significant percentage of people who are pointing out problems and issues with LLM-generated code are all just holding the tool wrong!"
While of course skill and experience plays a part, if so many people are trying to get good output from a tool and failing - the problem isn't with all of the people, the problem is with the tool.
I mean I'm also in Australia and given how few Costcos we have over here, it pretty much is an event because it's not on your way anywhere, you generally have to make a special trip of a decent distance so you want to make it worth the trip.
I think I've been like... three times?
I do have a mate that makes pretty regular trips, but even then they're just that, trips to Costco for some specific purpose or product.
I'm in the boat of wondering how so many people run into session limits so often. I have never hit one, except once when Claude Design came out and I had fun generating a bunch of random things to see what it could do (not with the intent of actually using any of the generated designs/code, because it all sucked).
In my experience, your first dev will have four thousand ideas and experiments on the go, and leave an absolute mess in their wake.
And your second will be struggling to clean up that mess while also getting their own work done.
Of course, you expect the same level of work from both of them, but because person two has to do a bunch of person one's work as well as their own, person one ends up looking better and gets praised by management.
