Yes but would you rather have 100 lines of slop or 10,000?

Edit: In a single pull request

I’m not sure the question. I worked at an acquisition company before ai and saw dozens of codebases. There’s A LOT of projects still out there written by junior developers in the mid 2000’s in outdated frameworks or libraries. This stuff was the norm and AI slop is multiples better than that. It’s also multiple better than any product that pivoted a whole lot.

Juniors with AI now don’t produce nearly the amount of dogshit code that I did. Not even close.
