I totally agree. If anything, many problems in our field today are related to having too much code, which people then write more code to manage in a giant doom cycle of bloat.

I have tried using chatgpt to make me some front-end code a bunch of times, and it was kinda helpful, but it always gets the hard parts wrong, so it doesn’t save me any time because I end up having to understand (and then refactor) the whole chunk of code to find the bugs.
