The premise of “lol, I’m just a dumb developer and just wait until the smart developers catch on” falls extremely flat coming from Thomas.

It kinda invalidates the entire premise because it builds on this false foundation of “look how useful it is to a mere plebeian” and the skills actually required to sift through LLM garbage are what puts you in the top 5% of programmers.

Most senior developers cannot conduct useful code review and spot errors. In every company I’ve been at, there were only 1 in 20 people that would give the useful in-depth reviews required to pick up LLM bullshit.

This style of engagement bait is brutal and it severely overshadows other nuggets of wisdom of how LLMs can be useful.
