You’re missing the point. This is not production quality software. This is mass produced software. You aren’t supposed to look at all the internals, just the really critical parts.


This is a very critical point. I think code generated by LLMs will lower code generation cost, that means mass produced software.

But: if we reduce cost, then can we not add deterministic guardrails in software that are also maintained at LLM speed and cost? This is pretty much what I am trying to understand. Choice of Rust/TypeScript in my projects in very intentional and you may see why.


So, according to you, it's like Wordpress all over again and a lot of work incoming for people that can actually build and maintain software.

Edit: And more critically, a lot of work incoming for people that can teach software development.


Yes. Someone will need to manage the 10-100x mess of LLM spaghetti codebases after they find product-market fit.
