Not when it's code that was only hard to write because you needed to know the right incantations to pipe data between different services.

Now you see the incantations that mostly work and the job of transforming it is easy.

Java's Bouncy Castle crypto library is a good example of this. The thing you're trying to do might be simple, but to do it, you might need to instantiate 8+ Java classes. It doesn't mean it's complex to read or hard to debug.

I’m skeptical that code that needs to instantiate eight separate classes will remain easy to debug in the general case.

LLMs give you a lot of false confidence, just because something looks right doesn't mean it is.

Especially with cryptography you should NEVER use LLMs. Read the docs, write down some notes, and make sure you properly understand everything before you use it. You need to really think it through before you end up leaking user data or worse.
