Tao can use LLMs on his own terms, on his conditions. Under those circumstances, it's an absolutely fantastic tool.

In an enterprise, everyone gets to use LLMs. Everyone can create slop. In an enterprise environment, this can lead to weird situations where the senior has to put in extra efforts to contain the slop of others... so I can kind of see where the "hinders seniors" is coming from.

I don’t think it’s even “seniors” containing slop of others.

I think it’s those who still care about quality (which seems to be decreasing in the industry overall) trying to keep the whole thing running, in a sea of people who think going really really fast and not understanding their code is fine because LLMs can make sense of it and clean it up later.

Just look at the condition of open source contributions recently
