Genuine question.
Over the past six months, there hasn’t been a single day where I’ve checked the HN Best RSS feed without seeing a post about how AI “writes bad code,” “introduces bugs,” “creates technical debt,” or something along those lines.

Users don’t care whether the code was written by AI or by hand, or which framework you used. They care that the product works.
