So we replace the task of writing tedious boilerplate with the task of reading the AI's tedious boilerplate. Which takes just as long. And leaves you with less understanding. And is more boring.

You are either a very fast producer or a very slow reader. Claude and Gemini are much faster at producing code than I am, and reviewing their code - twice over, even - still takes less time than writing it myself.

Are you, though? Reading code is harder, potentially much harder.[1]

And I suspect the act of writing it yourself imparts some lower level knowledge you don't get by skimming the output of an AI.

I think he is specifically referring to boilerplate code. It is not hard to understand boilerplate code.
