LLM-based coding agents have become useful to the point that people are building large software projects without humans writing or reviewing code directly. The naive approach to that will result in disaster if used in a production environment, but practices to improve reliability are evolving.
Popular opinion seems to be that Claude Opus 4.5 was the tipping point for this.
I like AI. I think it's great for quick references or a starting point, but I've already seen projects scrapped and restarted because a bunch of junior devs used AI with no understanding and management gave up on them after a year where the number of significant bugs never decreased. Take one down, feed it to the AI, two more bugs in the tracker.
