With all due respect to your experience, please don't go around saying that. I don't know why people like to brag about not understanding things. As professional software engineers, this belief makes us sound incompetent, not humble.

There’s an ability to understand. Most coders really have no clue how their code works. It’s not a brag, nor incompetence. Does your average dev really understand the underlying instruction set? LLM are like having a team of junior devs. I can quickly skim it, test it, ship it. I’ve worked in all sorts of safety related code. I would trust ai code over some of the crap I’ve seen (and probably wrote myself)
