Yeah he decides “AI is good actually for coding” but the same reasons apply there.
LLM code lets people shit out systems with no intent. And those systems are a waste of time. They just feel “90% there” for people who never had to finish a project in their life.
In the small scale, I get PRs of 200 lines of JS from someone who felt super productive because Claude wrote it for them. What did the JS do? Replicate the CSS “transition” property badly.
In the large scale, you get thousands of lines of RPC middleware instead of someone saying “hey at this point, should we move this responsibility from module A to module B and get rid of a lot of code?”
And I refuse to be on the defense of luddite or hater like the author does. Because I have never heard that claim from anyone who is capable of actually shipping stuff better or faster than me.

I’ve worked a number of jobs in TV, most behind the scenes. I’ve long said most of those jobs people at home wouldn’t know exist unless I make a mistake. That does not mean they were simple jobs.
Many people do not understand the amount of work that goes into other jobs they have never done, nor do they understand what makes someone good at that job.

The only good job AI can replace is the CEO as it doesn’t get the urge to rape kids
