Gergely Orosz Says AI Code No Longer Matters

Gergely Orosz, creator of The Pragmatic Engineer newsletter, addressed a frequent developer question about code in the AI era. He stated that quality no longer matters because generated code targets the machine and functionality. If the output works and remains correct, he said, humans will probably stop reading it. The remark came in a public post on X where he noted that code is written for results rather than readability by people.
