Inviting controversy with this take, which is outside of my comfort zone, but I do stand by it. You can generate good quality code with LLMs, it “just” requires a tonne of human oversight and automated guard rails. Got a week off then I’ll be building my first proper post with webernetes. Stoked.

Our own @samwho.dev ported Kubernetes to the browser. Like a real flippin' cluster with lifecycles, DNS, and a simulated network. It's ~100k lines of TypeScript, almost all written by LLMs, but with every line reviewed by hand to keep it slop-free ↓ ngrok.com/blog/i-porte...

I’d like to see the post. I don’t think it’s a hot take anymore, just an AI skill issue (no pun intended). I think most people are using little-to-no guardrails.

I also think people often lack the discipline to properly review LLM generated code, and that makes it very easy for bugs to slip through.

That too, meticulous review + tests. Some people even leave all those verbose nonsense comments instead of trimming them down, that makes me think they didn’t review the code at all so I’m extra careful.
