It’s completely the opposite. LLMs write awful python. Horrendous. They write pretty reasonable go and do it quite quickly. We started in Python because of “the ecosystem”. It was a mistake. The amount of time we spend ripping out each dependency and pruning it to what we need is way higher than if we’d spent the month building out what we need. I miss compilers and LLMs will NOT generate config driven code or things that serde well. Everything has layers and layers of adapters by default and the domain model slowly erodes over time. |

I've been using Claude Opus and it's pretty competent. I rarely have to make steering corrections. Once I had to deal with confusion, but, overall, the code is neat and the approaches sensible. It all depends on how much context you give it to work from, for instance. If it's building on top of a well organized codebase with a good best-practices document, it performs just fine.
