Reading someone else's code is hard. Reading someone else's code that you know you can't trust is even harder.

Writing code is so much easier than reading it! What an unforced error to transform the field from the former to the latter.

If the "author" couldn't be bothered to write it, why should the "reader" bother to read it?

No wonder the vibe coders and LLM shillers claim AI is so great lol. They don't bother reading the code it barfs.

i get it, like why waste your time checking potential slop unless your main task is QC
