One shotting slop is very different from iterating back and forth with an AI. Also, most of the AI work that's being done has been getting node compatibility tests passing with the help of comparing that to the Node.js code, which is something an LLM is very good at.

So does Bun.

Doesn't matter. The code those LLMs operate on is simple enough that any middle software engineer can do.
