It's not reality. I'm really not a fan of the way that people excuse the really terrible code LLMs write by claiming that people write code just as bad. Even if that were true, it is not true that when you ask those people to do otherwise they simply pretend to have done it and forget you asked later.

Maybe, but it lets them pump out much, much more code than they otherwise would have been able to. That's the "100x" in their AI productivity multipliers.

Sounds like you just work at a shitty company
