I got curious and had to fire up the ol LLM to find out what the story is about the words that aren't pluralized - TIL about countable and uncountable nouns. I wonder if the guy giving you trouble about your English speaks French.

I speak Russian and some English, but the question was about universal quantification: author declares that LLMs generate code of better quality than "any codes" he seen in his career.

I'm native French and nobody would consider code countable. "codes" makes no sense. We'd talk about "lines of code" as a countable in French just like in English.
