Curious how he reconciles this:

> If you build something with an LLM that people will depend on, read the code. In fact, you’ll probably do more than that. You’ll spend 5-10 minutes knocking it back into your own style.

with Joel Spolsky's fundamental maxim:

> It’s harder to read code than to write it.

You can invest more time in the writing to make code easier to read. It’s just that it typically would take much more time. It would be conceivable for LLMs to eventually reach a state where they can produce such easily readable and comprehensible code.
