There definitely is the danger of a lot of garbage being shipped, but with both the models getting better and better, and more tools and ways of working being discovered, I believe the quality of what is being outputted is going up as well. Right now, a tool like claude code is more like a junior dev. you really need to steer it well, and know what you are doing, to make sure it doesn't output slop. but with the ability to create agents that work together, implementing design agents, coding agents, review agents, even a non-technical person will be able to design a workflow that spits out quality code, and I think that time isn't far away.

Are the models really getting better and better? They tell us they are but I haven't noticed much difference in the last year or two.

It goes a bit up and down, compared to two years ago, in my feeling, both anthropic and open ai coding models have made massive jumps. In between big releases I do feel the quality of the models varies over time. 2 years ago I got annoyed with the models being crappy autocompletes, right now I'm just managing them more rather than coding myself
