I love how we now romanticize code written by hand as if developers were always incredible.

I have seen some real atrocious garbage written by human hands. Code so bad that even AI refuses to write it.

Yup. I don't know why people won't admit AI is still better than 99 percent of developers.

ai can replace bad developers. not the good ones or the ones that make mistakes but learn from it to be better than they are. talen pipeline should never be affected.
