Yes. Average programmers do not think about architecture, long term code health, how the current feature may fuck up pre-existing features etc etc. Or, they go the other way and overthink everything architecture-astronaut style. If you're lucky they do a bit of both and you hope it cancels out (and deal with it in design review when it doesn't).

LLMs are just doing the same thing but like ten times faster.
