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.

I'm sure no one reads LLM-produced code very carefully, especially if it "works". At best they skim.

>>pyb+4p
For most things I'm not willing to accept faster code at the expense of being an expert in the code.

So I am still trying to find the right amount of reading, editing, and reworking that gets the job done faster, where "the job" includes me being an expert in the produced code, not just the production of code.

There are periods of skimming but I'm doing a lot more than skimming.
