>(e.g. spending more time troubleshooting systems their engineers never understood in the first place).
I do not, for one second, believe that any company is literally cut-and-pasting code straight out of ChatGPT into their production environments without their engineers understanding it.
The number of developers on HackerNews who think that not using LLMs is "cool" or more valuable is shocking. It's no different than saying you don't use X other development tool.

I would guess that close to 10% of the codebase at my company is straight up copy pasted from ChatGPT without further thought.

It routinely happens with StackOverflow answers to the point of being a meme. LLMs are just the next iteration.
I love your idealism, but allow me to be your data point. The place where I work just fired our CTO because he was doing exactly that, to "speed up" the software team, after I complained to other execs that this was massively slowing us down because of all the time we spent trying to figure out what the nonsense code he was shotgunning into main was supposed to do. (Not the only reason, I'm told.)
