> it takes more time to be producted, and it is harder too because you always need to supervise and correct what's done

This is hogwash, the lead dev in charge of this has commented elsewhere that he's saved inordinate amounts of time. He mentioned that he gets about a day a week to code and produced this in under a month, which under those circumstances would've been impossible without LLM assistance.

It took two months for a lead dev and a bunch of "Cloudflare engineers" (to "thoroughly review .. with careful attention paid to security and compliance with standards") to write ~1300 lines of typescript code for a feature they (he ?) masters

If that sounds like "save inordinate amounts of time", well, that's your opinion

Can you please make your substantive points without name-calling like "This is hogwash"? Your comment would be just fine without that bit.

OK, but in my defense "hogwash" is literally defined as "nonsense" by Oxford dictionary, I didn't call a person names and only criticized the idea. It's softer than "idiotic" which while also an attribute of the idea may be taken to imply that the person is an idiot. Not my intention.

The point is nevertheless taken that it adds nothing of substance to the argument, and I will not do it again.
