If only 'grotesquely baroque & completely unmaintainable' were congruent with 'not working'. A lot of software in production is exactly as you describe, funnily enough.
This is the entire reason the average consumer has lost trust in Software & developers.
I don't understand if it's fun for people(in the software development trade) to see everyone complaining about Software...
I as a software developer honestly feel ashamed in the quality of software we provide out there.
I think LLMs should instead be used to automate grunt work to make software better for edge cases, or where you can use it to get more time to improve software quality.
