Most of the time saving time is just an illusion. When that code will needed to be changed, people will spend more than 4 days debugging and understanding it. The mental model of it was written by AI. It can make sense or not at all. You’ll figure it out after 4 days.

The code is 2 files of 80 lines each and is very clear. There's no way any software developer needs 4 days to understand what it does.

Moreover Claude can explain the functions used very clearly (if you're too lazy to jump to definition in your editor)

LLMs are becoming actually useful to developers new to a language. Just as Google was 20 years ago.

People talk about completey different things. The article was about Google using LLM-s to generate code, not people making 80 lines with them at home. There is a huge difference. I don’t see any problem with the latter, but with the former there are many problems.
