I don’t like to use libraries I don’t understand. Probably part why I’m not a professional developer, but it’s the principle of the thing - don’t put out code you can’t vouch for.
I mean, yes, it’s way easier to just use the library, trust it works; but by that logic, it’s also way easier to just let an llm code for you.

There’s no ‘principle’ here, that’s something that simply would not be possible in any sort of large project. To suggest all professional software developers read every line of every library before using it is ridiculously unworkable.
It’s an imported library, since when are devs expected to be inspecting the source code of every library they import?

Libraries can be audited. LLM generated code cannot.

? Do you have me confused with somebody else?
That’s fair, I made an assumption there. I’ll just delete the comment.
