No kidding. So far the complexity introduced by LLM-generated code in my current codebase has taken far more time to deal with than the hand-written code.

Overall, we are trying to "silo" LLM-generated code into its own services with a well-defined interface so that the code can just be thrown away and regenerated (or rewritten by hand) because maintaining it is so difficult.

Yeah, same. I like the silo idea, I'll have to explore that.

I'm relieved to hear this because the LLM hype in this thread is seriously disorienting. Deeply convinced that coding "by hand" is just as defensible in the LLM age as handwriting was in the TTY age. My dopamine system is quite unconvinced though, killing me.
