alt Hacker News> The cost of writing simple code has dropped 90%.
Plus there's a lot of simple code you shouldn't be writing either way, because it's in a library by now.
By their nature, LLMs will do their best with things that could be plagiarized.

Aren't we having major issues with there being too many small libraries right now and dependency chain that grows exponentially? I have thought LLMs will actually benefit us a lot here, with not having to use a lib for every little thing (leftpad etc?).

LLMs work great at identifying libraries I'd never have otherwise found and use them, as long as you ask them for solutions instead of micromanage how they should get things done.
