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.

The problem is that a lot of code works in general, but fails in edge cases. I would hate to be the guy who's job is only to find out why verbose AI generated code fails in one particular condition.
