the argument is that nobody cares about the code that makes software work, only the results. if you pile slop on top of slop for long enough, i can guarantee that your software will reek of slop and your customers will be able to smell it, and reject it just like they did with the other failed use cases

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I feel like this had already been happening long before generative AI. You can absolutely tell at a glance when a piece of software is built upon layers of legacy code just from using it versus software that actually had care put into it.

@eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place I've only written so much code and created a few rudimentary games before stopping primarily because I didn't feel like I fully understood the code I wrote and didn't feel like I could release any of it into the wild because of that lack of understanding on my part. It felt irresponsible to do so. I'm guessing many others don't feel the same.
