alt Hacker NewsDo you write perfect code? I was in denial for a long time too, but the reality is this is how software engineering is now. It can handle pretty much any codebase and vastly faster than you ever will be able to. With enough context, it writes good code and it's only getting better.

I may not write perfect code the first time, but I can, on my own, reliably figure out where my code is imperfect and fix it. And I get reliably better at that over time. Without requiring companies with massive power and concerning agendas to spend astronomical amounts of money and energy to power that improvement.

For simple things, occasionally!
For more complex things, usually not, but I write working code. LLMs will sometimes write working code, sometimes not.
