While it's of course a good thing to be critical the author did provide some more context on the why and how of doing it with LLM's on the hard fork podcast today [0]: mostly as a way to see how these models _can_ help them with these tasks.

I would recommend listening to their explanation, maybe it'll give more insight.

Disclosure: After listening the podcast and looking up and reading the article I emailed @dang to suggest it goes into the HN second chance pool. I'm glad more people enjoyed it.
