I sometimes imagine, even before LLMs, how much human-written code still matters, like the DNA that has survived evolution. It's got to be a super low percentage.

The trend with Autocomplete Industrialization (AI) is just speeding up the creation of shanty towns of code, as opposed to architecturally robust foundations. The survivability of code is dropping because of the Copilotz. But perhaps this rapidity of creating crude solutions will increase the chances of something truly significant?

p.p.s there are too many times "it's" should be "its" in that blog post to have been AI-generated. That's a different kind of irony IMO, especially since that's just tricky English syntax (the thing AI is supposed to be good at). Maybe the author used AI to come up with the snarky metaphors. I asked ChatGPT for a sarcastic meaning for AI that starts with Autocomplete :)
