alt Hacker NewsLLM code is higher quality than any codes I have seen in my 20 years in F500. So yeah you need to "guide" it, and ensure that it will not bypass all the security guidance for ex...But at least you are in control, although the cognitive load is much higher as well than just "blind trust of what is delivered".
But I can see the carnage with offshoring+LLM, or "most employees", including so call software engineer + LLM.

Giving it prompts of the Shannon project helps for security
Huh, that explains a lot about the F500, and their buzzword slogans like "culture of excellence".
LLM code is still mostly absurdly bad, unless you tell it in painstaking detail what to do and what to avoid, and never ask it to do a bigger job at a time than a single function or very small class.
Edit: I'll admit though that the detailed explanation is often still much less work than typing everything yourself. But it is a showstopper for autonomous "agentic coding".
