The following is half serious. Please enjoy.

Some comments here are reminiscent of antiquated discourse: "how many angels dance on the head of a pin?"

We somehow are trying to agree on some factual ramp-up time required for a dev to become competent coding with LLM's. This is inherently subjective! Why bother?

Perhaps certain LLMs are blessed with disproportionately more angels (nee "bugs") in the machines.

I enjoyed reading the article:

"The model looks good, but Google’s enshittification has won and it looks like no competent software developers are left. I would know, many of my friends work there."

Yikes!
