alt Hacker NewsI'm not saying bugs aren't a problem. I'm saying that if an emerging, fast improving tech is only slightly behind a human coder now, it seems conceivable that we're not that far off when they reach parity.

Exactly. I'm sure assembly language programmers from the 1980s could easily write code that ran 2x faster than the code produced by compilers of the time, but compilers only got better and eventually assembly language programming became a rare job, and humans can rarely outperform compilers on whole program compilation.
