This format implies those things are being hidden, but in fact are usually entirely missing

It stored passwords in a csv what do you mean I was hacked?!

I would be worried about maintainability as well if the person has no or very limited engineering experience. The first cut implementation of something is in my experience the easiest and most fun part!

This man codes. Greetings fellow developer!

I mean, have you seen “professionally developed software” up close?
At least the AI slop is improving.

Well thats quite easy to say is it? Most professionally developed software is decades old, when standards and patterns were different. So only greenfield developed software may measure up to your ideas of good software.
And AI can only "improve" because of human created software, otherwise it would gobble itself up (Model Collapse).

Not to mention it will not just gobble up itself now, but also all the bad code on the internet.
If you ask ChatGPT or Codestral how to safe a file in memory it will in almost all cases save those data chunks you're reading from somewhere in a list and suggest appending every chunk to that list.
Yeah sure you can do that instead of using io.bytesIO() (probably, until weird things happen), but what the fuck. And that's Python, literally the language those models are supposed to excel in.

I was being deliberately combative, but there’s a kernel of truth. Our discipline had been at it for decades and we have no idea how to write maintainable, secure, usable software. Most of the things we write are neither of those things, despite our very best efforts. As an engineering discipline, we failed miserably.
That said, AI is definitely not going to improve things. It’s going to make things worse. Much much worse.
