TBF inexperienced developer's generate fragile codebases too.
Very true, but not at the pace or scale that LLMs do. And, in some cases they were able to be mitigated/fixed over time by the more experienced contributors, and eventually would learn and become the experienced contributors themselves!
We accelerated the problem and nerfed the fix.
