LLM is avoided by many experienced developers and competent medium and small companies.
Tools like cursor are sometimes ok for small things like people learning, or to generate boilerplate.
But it is seen by some as a warning flag when it’s in source code for larger projects

Actually this cost a lot of time and money. Even today I have to take an extra step to see if master or main is use . Before it was standard.
Curse this
Because the argument is stupid. Much like pointers not being a good term to use because it’s rude to point. Or man pages being sexist.

limer@lemmy.mlto Programming@programming.dev•How to deal with a not so good related team that always asks for help?71·17 days agoSounds like a long term issue that will not resolve itself. The only relevant advice anyone can give here is tips about job searching or sympathy.
You have my sympathy

Yes, although I still worked on my own projects.
I have drifted from professional to other for many years.
Now that I have coded for two generations now, I often think I should have chosen some main occupation that was not a sit down job.
But it is what it is, and I will probably program more than anything else for the rest of my working life
Been coding for decades: burned out several times. I always return later after other jobs
I think the most job satisfaction I ever had was demolishing a house, another good thing for me was delivering pizzas.
I use templeOS btw
This is nothing to worry about
That does not have to be a contradiction
Heh, I was managing tabs on Firefox a generation ago
When adding code this way, one needs to look it over and read to fix bugs or things that are not quite correct; stats show experienced developers often are faster not using this approach because debugging existing code takes longer than writing it fresh.
The speed is not the issue.
What matters is sometimes subtle bugs are introduced that require several people to catch. If at all. These issues might be unique to the Llm.
Having large sections of generated code offers the possibility of hard to find problems.
Some codes are more sensitive to such issues.
The details of how the code was added, and what it does, may render this issue harmless or very much a problem to be avoided.
This is why it’s a flag and not a condemnation
