I think most code being written is like a custom car made out of the most cost effective parts available.

Not pretty, but it gets the job done for the specific use cases of a given business.

Real production code doesn’t and have a shutter stock equivalent.

If you think most code is stock, then you just haven’t had enough experience in industry yet.

I actually like that analogy. It's somewhere in between. Enough that LLMs can help in many ways, but the current models are still far away from doing everything.

Yeah, they’re not useless, but I don’t really see them replacing the profession of programming.

Just another tool in the kit.
