2026: haha I just have my stochastic labubu generate tons of code all the time, I don't even look at it. More is more. I regularly have nervous breakdowns about what it all means on all social media platforms

Shame on those sloperators either way.

See C A R Hoare on producing correct software:
Either cleverly simple or massively large and complex.

Simple is easier to check but much harder to design.

A curse on managers that want to go straight from a Marketing Dept request to people actually coding.
You can't even estimate project duration, complexity and risk without capturing the real requirements in formal logical language and then doing a design (with no coding!)
