@rkaj@mastodon.nu @levitte@mastodon.nu I would add that all generated code, whether by LLMs or compilers is immediately legacy code. That is why it's so important that generated code can be easily regenerated at any time. This includes machine code. Editing generated code has always been a bad practice, and it doesn't suddenly become a good practice just because we have LLMs. For exploratory programming, the trade-offs are a bit different, but by definition maintainability is not an issue in that case.
