I've spent the last 9 months coming in behind these "look what I did! AI!" projects and fixing them. One was turned over to a coworker as a "here I did all this work for you" ... Wouldn't even start because it tried to bind to the same TCP port three times in the init, for some reason.
It's getting a little better, but I still mostly unfuck shit that people LLMd and then (they) walked away to much fanfare at their "expertise" to do it again.
It's a tool, not a replacement for thought.
