which is why the programming language for LLMs hasn't been invented yet. I cannot read someone else's code that is filled with single letter very real names, but I can write it but as a human with human working memory, I can only hold so many variables in my head to reason about an LM is a much greater working memory unless does not need the same abstractions as a human does if I'm no longer riding the code and I don't need to read it, then not only is goto's considered harmful is holding us back, but bring on the big ball of mud spaghetti code that outperforms human written code, that no human has a chance of maintaining or reasoning about.

The problem with this is there is going to be a bug that needs fixing that the LM can't fix and if the humans can't understand the bug that we're just gonna have to live with the bug! But let's not talk about that.
