They also said "hand written", implying that no LLMs whirred, slopped and moonwalked all over the project.

I mean.. I'm one of the staunchest skeptics of LLMs as agents, but they're amazing as supercharged autocomplete and I don't see anything wrong with them in that role. There's a position between handwritten and slopped that's pareto.

They can take away our jobs, but by god they cannot take away our autism!

When I want to autocomplete my code with IP scraped from github with all licensing removed, nothing beats an LLM.
