Idk why people are shitting on you. So many LLM haters on here. It’s changed the game completely and some people just don’t want to accept it.

I think this is cool. Verbosity of languages is important when it comes to coding with AI. I’ve found Go to be a happy medium.

If you replaced "AI" with "a developer" in this article, it might make more sense why it's being dunked on. It would be an article about someone telling someone to do something, and then when the work was done they were happy with the result. It's just a bit of a nothing all round

It's worse than that -- they don't even know the result! They never tried to run it!

oh yeah - in this case the result is that the code was smaller and they were happy with that. correctness was not a criteria

They wrote a blog post about code that they have not even tried running. Whether it’s LLM-generated does not matter.
