1. Humans are capable of writing good code. Most won't, but at least it's possible. If your company needs good code to survive, would you take 5% chance or 0% chance?

2. Even when humans write crappy code, they typically can maintain it.



> 0% chance?

by now I have shipped over a million lines of code written by LLMs (many others have as well) so 0% maybe in the hands of my 12-year old

> …they can typically maintain it

who exactly is “they”?


I don't know why anyone would be proud of producing as large a maintenance burden as possible.


larger maintenance burden as opposed to same LOC written by Joe from Nebraska?
