This may have been an accurate assessment 18 months ago, but it is not anymore. If you're not getting good results out of the latest models it's more of a you problem than a model problem at this point. And not to be completely rude here but at the level of people getting paid 7 figures USD to develop software LLMs are being widely used for basically all code. We need to move past this cope about their capabilities.

Sure, and thats why all of these companies have to force us to use this shit with quotas, mandatory tooling, and chiding about being 100x devs and being left behind. I've yet to meet an LLM booster in a senior technical position that actually handles code in any meaningful way. You can find plenty of execs making claims about it though. You're just saying shit

I am not just saying shit. I am telling you, as a person working for such a company, that this is real and this is happening. This is not executives talking shit. Although yes executives do talk a lot of shit and have unrealistic expectations. Coding was never really the slowest part of software development anyway.

I've been through it with this shit at my last two workplaces. People are willing to claim the output is solid because they can just keep running agents non stop to fix their issues and run a quick skim over the output, a bit of extra agentic use to run some tests and call it a day. They don't care about code quality anymore, if it runs, ship it.

I've seen people ship a ton of features at once. 3 PRs in a day, 250 file changes. Just quick skim it, or even better, get a senior dev to run the diff through another agent and have that agent review the code because the senior is too overworked on reviewing slop he has to outsource his job too. Approve it.

And when it breaks we just cross our fingers because nobody knows how any of it works.
