Warts and ancient quirks, I can kind of see, but in what way have LLMs solved the footguns?
Mostly, by having enough diligence and attention to avoid a lot of the common ones.
By now, if we're pitting a top of the line coding LLM against a B-tier programmer throwing something together in a hurry, I would expect the latter to shot more foot, and not by a narrow margin. Even those who know better don't always do better - for a human, "fucks given" is a painfully finite resource.
