Before LLMs were a thing, my CS1 professor used to call it “The Big Bang Theory”: You write some code and then BANG! It works!
Of course, it doesn’t work, and the results are unpredictable bad software that you don’t understand. The point of the analogy was that you need to analyze and literally iterate over code to gain concrete proof of what it was actually doing to engineer a coherent software design.
You really needed a better CS professor.
If you're writing code that you don't understand without treating it like a goddamned microbe in a petri dish, you are the slop coder.
