So the author is not a great programmer/professional. I agree with you that they should have done their homework, tested it, have a mental model for why and how, etc. If they don't, it doesn't seem to be particularly relevant to me if that's because they had a concussion or because they use AI.

It’s easy to skip quality with code, starting with coding only the happy path and bad design that hides bugs. Handling errors properly can take a lot of times, and designing to avoid errors takes longer.

So when you have a tools that can produce things that fits the happy path easily, don’t be surprised that the amount of PRs goes up. Because before, by the time you can write the happy path that easily, experience has taught you all the error cases that you would have skipped.

I have been developing for 40 years as a hobbyist for 10 and a professional for 30. I always started with the happy path and made it sure it worked and then kept thinking about corner cases. If an LLM can get me through the happy path (and it often generates code to guard against corner cases) why wouldn’t I use it?
