The one main claim the article makes: Senior developers should not ignore the productivity gains from LLMs.

Best use of evidence is deductive: Lots of code is tedious and uninteresting -> LLMs are fast at generating lots of tedious code -> LLMs help productivity.

Weakest part of the argument: The list of rebuttals doesn't have an obvious organization to it. What exactly is the main argument they're arguing against?

It's not stated outright but because the post is bookended by references to 'those smarter than me', I think this is an argument against the shaming of developers using (and loving) LLM tools.

Which I think is fair.

Overall, the post did not add anything to the general discussion. But the popularity of the author (and fly.io posts) may make it a beacon for some.
