additionally, similar to how large PRs are more likely to just be skimmed and replied with a "LGTM!", an LLM missing some bad stuff but still producing a seemingly thorough review would increase the chance of the bad stuff making its way in.
allowing LLMs to write code would be fine if its truly verified by a human, but let another LLM hallucinate and cloud a persons judgement and you've got a problem
The main difference is that it has a pretty good base autopilot, such that you can give it a direction vector to point to.
The downside is that you have to learn a specific language for it, but you can also make your own language that transpiles as a fun project :)

Sure, there will be a small C ABI shim but the developer experience writing in Rust I think is worth it.
Also, nowadays whenever I want to write a fast Python extension, I don't think twice before using pyo3, super simple to write and build.
Additionally, a pandemic has shown that government services actually need to scale to arbitrary amounts, seemingly at random.
Don't you think that in this case using AWS is better to simply guarantee availability? Imagine tax payers money being spent on servers and then a pandemic happens and when the economy is screeching to a halt, more tax payers money is needed to expand the cluster, money that really would be useful to spend elsewhere.
