code is not user-facing, functionality, ux, and specs are!

there are many apps with ai-generated ideas, specs, and functionality. nobody uses them because of the contempt.

in either case, the part that's user-facing is ai-resistant

> code is not user-facing

The user interacts with the code, and if it's sloppy AI generated code, it's going to impact the user somehow. Be it through poor performance, bugs, security holes, you name it.

Maybe I was naive in thinking the bar was higher than "as long as I can't tell an LLM wrote it that's good enough for me."
