Multiple commenters with programming experience argued that AI-generated code is often superior to human-written code. edg5000 stated they "basically stopped writing code by hand in 2026" because LLMs write better code, and 9cb14c1ec0 acknowledged that AI-generated and reviewed code has fewer bugs than their hand-written code.

“I've been programming my whole life but basically stopped writing code by hand in 2026. The LLM writes better code than I do, much better.”
