   Ah, the "skill issue" argument again. Same crap aswhen everyonewas worshiping Musk 5-6 years ago, this time it's dario and altman with a claude/chatgpt mask. Crash can't come soon enough.

      And why wouldn’t writing software be a skill issue? Yes, it’s an annoying meme, but we should expect that there are better and worse ways to write software. It would be weird if everyone got the same results regardless of experience.

      I’m doubtful that the author’s recommendation always work, but I do some similar things and they do seem to help.

         Anyone who thinks they can produce high quality code from an LLM is mistaken about how to judge code. Trust me, I've seen enough PRs to last a life time. A lot of professionals wouldn't know good code if it slapped them in the face.

            I'd argue for most people LLM produces much better code than they would be able to write themselves.

               I'm not sure how literally you mean "most people". This might be true in a purely volumetric sense, but that's not really the bar around these parts...
