Is most code being written the equivalent of high-art or Shutterstock?

I think most code being written is like a custom car made out of the most cost effective parts available.

Not pretty, but it gets the job done for the specific use cases of a given business.

Real production code doesn’t and have a shutter stock equivalent.

If you think most code is stock, then you just haven’t had enough experience in industry yet.

I actually like that analogy. It's somewhere in between. Enough that LLMs can help in many ways, but the current models are still far away from doing everything.
