So they run the code, it breaks, they paste the error message back into chatGPT and try again. What's wrong with that? Don't know about you, but I don't get code right the first time, either.

Not all areas of work and life come with error messages that are a cheap to encounter. Coding might be somewhat special and the use case for LLMs there might be considerably stronger than in some other areas.

You're assuming bad code is code that throws errors.

SQL injection is bad code that "works". Most security issues come from bad code that just "works". I can't believe I have to say this, on HN of all places, but you have to actually know what you are doing when writing code. Some of you scare the fucking shit out of me.
