       "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.” — Brian W. Kernighan.What if you let an LLM write the code for you, and you never understood it in the first place? Do you think the LLM is going to debug it for you too?

       @jani I think the "twice as hard" is a serious underestimation ...

       @jani ok, but when you debug code you've written yourself, you already know how it's structured and what it's supposed to do, so once you spot the buggy behaviour, it's easy to know that that behaviour is wrong and not intended. This ruins the fun.It's more fun to have someone else write the code, and go in debugging with no idea how it's supposed to work, discovering it as you go.
