Now that both have dried up I hope we can close the vault door on js and have people learn how to code again.
I don't see how the conclusion follows from this.
There will be many LLM-generated functions purporting to do the same thing, and a bug in one of them that gets fixed means only one project gets fixed instead of every project using an NPM package as a dependency.
I've been playing a lot recently with various models, lately with the expensive claude models (API, for the large context windows), and in every attempt things are really impressive at the beginning, and start going south once the codebase reaches about 10k to 15k lines of code. Even with tools split out into a separate library and separate documentation at that point it has a tendency to generate tool functions again in the module it's currently working on over taking the already defined one in the helper library.
