Yes it is a maintenance deadend for LLMs it's notorious codebases start accumulating enormous amount of tech debt and that it gets almost impossible to unravel it even with the best agent
I've never seen it happen. You say this and it's likely one anecdotal claim. At the same time there's counter points like Bun getting rewritten in rust.
This is talk and talk is cheap. Prove it, otherwise it's still a million dollar question... unanswered.
HN is notoriously mentally deficient when it comes to AI. They were wrong about self driving cars (I sit in AI cars daily), they were wrong about AI getting used for coding (I don't use an IDE or type code anymore as a SWE). So I have to say unless there's something evidence based or substantial here it's likely given HN track record that most people here will end up being another wrong, baseless and over confident answer.
I'm looking for legit answers not confidently biased statements with no evidence.
Bun getting rewritten in Rust is not really the counter point you think it is. The rust version hasn't shipped yet, so there hasn't even been a chance to see if the code can be maintained. It's an impressive feat no doubt, but until they've maintained it on a months to years timeline, it's also just talk with no evidence.
Sigh. I'm sorry you're scared of AI. I hope you find happiness in your life and something else to replace your identity with once AI completely eclipses your utility in society as a coder.
Right, it's still a datapoint. There's blurry and not completely substantiated datapoints from both sides. We don't have a full picture... we have a blurry picture.
The issue is a lot of people form definitive conclusions from blurry data. I'm challenging that type of bias. For example: How the hell do we know LLMs produce code that LLMs can't maintain? Like did you actually try it? And what about the instances where it worked? I don't think the answer is as clean/cut as yes/no. Even if we had data, most likely the data will be contradictory data in the sense that some AI projects worked, some descended into slop.

Again only in the bubble you live in. You want evidence? There are zero killer app products out there. Not even one, the ones that seems impressive like bun zig to rust, it's just an experiment and will see how bad it will unravel.
And the existing products? They get shittier day by day at rate not seen before.
Or are u building one via codex inside the ai car while u eat a burrito?
Oh you mean the USA bubble? sorry i didn't consider somalia or wherever backwater place you live.
>Again only in the bubble you live in. You want evidence? There are zero killer app products out there. Not even one, the ones that seems impressive like bun zig to rust, it's just an experiment and will see how bad it will unravel.
It's called claude code and bun and practically every company building a SAAS app. that's evidence.
>And the existing products? They get shittier day by day at rate not seen before.
That's your opinion. Obviously people who make more money than you and are smarter than you and are more powerful than you think otherwise.

When you insult someone like this. It's a sign that you got nothing substantial to say. It's a cowardly move and you're a coward. I'm not trying to insult you here. Just stating a fact plain and simple fact: You're a little coward. You're afraid to face reality.
Still not a substantial answer. Why not? Because you don't have one. Only insults.
You're truly a little coward, and this is not an insult, I'm just objectively stating who you are. You're afraid to face the fact that AI is on a trajectory to be a better programmer than you.
