The most salient part of the article IMO:

Under the heading: "but you have no idea what the [LLM's] 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? You’ve always been responsible for what you merge to main. You were five years go. And you are tomorrow, whether or not you use an LLM. If you build something with an LLM that people will depend on, read the code.

> People complain about LLM-generated code being “probabilistic”. No it isn’t. It’s code. [...] The LLM might be stochastic. But the LLM doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you can make sense of the result

> Reading other people’s code is part of the job. If you can’t metabolize the boring, repetitive code an LLM generates [...] how are you handling the chaos human developers turn out on a deadline?
