At the risk of starting the flame war to end all flame wars... Modern LLMs (GPT-5.1, Claude 4.5, Gemini 3) produce excellent code and can be a significant productivity boost to software engineers who take the time to learn how to effectively apply them - especially if used with coding agent tools

The "excellence" still depends on whether the language is in the training distribution. It's pretty competent at Python and JS. Less so in Clojure. Or HashiCorp Language. Even so I agree that it's still a productivity boost across most languages.
