I completely agree. Fixing bugs absolutely can take more time than producing new code. The time requirement to fix bugs also scales more dramatically the deeper the bug is nested inside of the code base.

I can see where maybe ChatGPT would be 10x faster than searching google for answers when someone has a question, but I'd stay far away from trying to implement most of what it spits out into a production application. That goes double for enterprise level applications. Especially if the person generating it doesn't understand how to produce that code on their own.
