I have about 6 months of coding experience. All I really knew was how to build a basic MERN app

I’ve been using Sonnet 3.5 to code and I’ve managed to build multiple full fledged apps, including paid ones

Maybe they’re not perfect, but they work and I’ve had no complaints yet. They might not scale to become the next Facebook, but not everything has to scale

What do you do if your app has a bug that your LLM isn't able to fix? is your coding experience enough to fix it, or do you ship with bugs hoping customers won't mind?

What's the point of this question?

Everybody ships nasty bugs in production that he himself might find impossible to debug, everybody.

Thus he will do the very same thing me, you or anybody else on this planet do, find a second pair of eyes, virtually or not, paying or not.

Those things are not not even comparable in the quality output and if you see them as equals this seriously harm your credibility in this topic. This won't change in next decade+. For some use cases thats good enough quality, till you have any actual issues your smart code tools can't handle. Till people start suing you because your half-baked app caused them a real, serious financial loss and they have a true vengeance in their eyes (smaller companies or individuals often take such harm from outside very personally).

Any serious company paying serious bucks won't accept this, in 2024 they know darn well how bad software can bite massively back, some of them like banks or whole Silicon valley run whole business on software. But its true that there is a massive space outside such cases where this cca works, I've never worked there so can't judge.
