One of our devs came to me with an LLM rewrite of some parts of our automation. Even at first glance you could see a lot was missed, the refactor simply wasn't going to work in that state and critical migration logic just wasn't present.

I binned the branch and did the refactor myself, as it would have taken more time to figure out the damage caused than just starting over.

So glad we now pay premium prices for RAM and non-volatile storage, just so some LLM can vomit up a reheated turd.
