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 can reconcile that. Joel is right. So is Thomas. If you're a professional programmer you should be able to do the harder thing.

Thomas was a bit more spicy about that:

> but you have no idea what the code is - Are you a vibe coding Youtuber? Can you not read code? If so: astute point. Otherwise: what the fuck is wrong with you?
