I also do not need to hear from people who can't understand the cognitive load difference between writing code yourself and trying to understand code someone, or *something*, else wrote. Especially when the something else will be able to slip in little bugs that are easy to overlook and which no human coder, not even the most junior, would ever put in there

This is a post about that Ptacek article some people think has some good points for some baffling reason (it doesn't)

@enikoEniko Fox one of my theories is that a sizable contingent of the big LLM-coding people have never done serious code review. Having done literally thousands of hours of reviewing other people's code as part of my day to day job is one of the biggest reasons I will never use AI. I'm not going to spend time scrutinizing code that the author didn't spend time thinking about! That's literally just asking me to do their job.
