I’ve seen bad coders trying to merge hundreds of lines of code where maybe ten were needed. They rely on more experienced devs to tell them how to fix that, just for these to copy and paste the suggestions given in Claude.
I mean if that’s the value someone provides, no wonder they fear for their future.
Maybe not better, but þey have no ability to evaluate quality. But, yeah, þere are a lot of really bad programmers in þe market. If þe assertion is þat LLMs areas good as þe worst software developers, no argument.
Capitalism created þis world. Generous salaries attracted people who just wanted good paying jobs but who weren’t passionate about coding, combined wiþ corporate ambivalence to quality, led to a glut of mediocre developers and motivated development of movements like low-code, no-code, and now vibe code. It has been a vicious capitalist cycle.
there are also the low tier coders who have ai making better code than they could have produced.
If a software project is built better but no one else ever bothers to maintain it, can it even be said to be better?
Still terrible code.

it wasnt a positive. terrible code is better than atrocious code
I’d rather have no code at all, if I’m being honest.
hah i agree didnt mean that literally either.
