Hard agree. Before LLMs, if there was some bit of code needed across the industry, somebody would put the effort into writing a library and we'd all benefit. Now, instead of standardizing and working together we get a million slightly different incompatible piles of stochastic slop.
This was happening before llms in webdev
I don't think we should use webdev as an example of why lossy copy and paste works for the industry.
Before LLMs companies and people were forced to use one-size-fits-all solutions and now they can build custom, bespoke software that fits their needs.
See how it's a matter of what you're looking at?
