Looks like you either have not worked with any human or with an LLM otherwise arriving at such a conclusion is damn impossible.

The humans I did work with were very very bright. No software developer in my career ever needed more than a paragraph of JIRA ticket for the problem statement and they figured out domains that were not even theirs to being with without making any mistakes and rather not only identifying edge cases but sometimes actually improving the domain processes by suggesting what is wasteful and what can be done differently.

I think you are very fortunate. I have worked with plenty of software developers like that, in fact, the overwhelming majority of them have been like that.

I have worked with people like this frequently. The ones you're always happy to see on the team.

Also worked with people who were frustrated that they had to force push git to "save" their changes. Honestly, a token-box I can just ignore, would be an upgrade over this half of the team.

I and everybody else here call BS on that. People make mistakes all the time. Arguably at similar or worse rates.

Seriously? I would like to remind you that every single mistake in history until the last couple of years has been made by humans.

Uhh what, I speak to llms in broken english with minimal details and they figure it out better than I would have if you told me the same garbage

Holy shit, you've never worked with anyone who made ANY mistakes? You must be one of those 10x devs I hear about. Wow, cool, please stay away from my team.
