    He compared an LLM to a compiler suggesting that the concerns about using them are the same as suggesting that everyone should write in assembly.

    The comparison is invalid, since one mode is deterministic, while the other is not.

    LLM-driven development leads to programming via the abstraction of the model, disconnecting you from the source to the point where you don’t understand what it’s done or why. He’s suggesting that this isn’t a problem because an LLM is just like a compiler, which suggests that he’s arguing in bad faith or doesn’t understand the “tools” he’s using.
