> reviewing code is very different from producing it, and surely teaches you less

Maybe he meant "reviewing code from coding agents"? Reviewing code from other humans is often a great way to learn.

I interpreted this as not as good a way to learn.

I learn the most from struggling through a problem, and reading someone’s code doesn’t teach me all the wrong ways they attempted before it looked like the way it now does.
