Agreed, a buddy and I wrote a simple mod that shimed into Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader and were able to pull all of the art and description assets for that game by walking the object graph. Took about 4 hours total (including the site).
Similar to your camera, we would never have been arsed with doing that much work were it not for LLM vibbing. It allowed us to get something working (sufficiently) very quickly.
At what point of maintaining this code would it be cheaper for me to actually find underlying patterns and program this myself with some actual thought, rather than continuously "shaping the clay" of my LLM slop? These questions keep me awake at night (not really), and probably predict the future of software engineering!
