2. I'm not a SW Eng but have written a lot of code

Yesterday

from machine language to assembler to high level languages in the day to AI and, have found my recent experiences with AI written HTML and VBA to be very positive. It is not foolproof by any means - the functionality has to be carefully detailed and the code has to be tested and debugged but overall is IMO a great time saver and, importantly, facilitates coding (HTML in my case) in a language I have very little familiarity with.

So, I guess I'm a bit perplexed by the negativity - I dunno, maybe the detractors are referring to large integrated code bases with a lot of added complexity and security requirements etc.
