You're missing the point, and also demonstrating it. This blog isn't about personal experience, and it makes no claims about LLM capability at all. It is simply about whether code, in either volume or quality, should be used as a proof claim.

> LLMs entice us with code too quickly. We are easily led.

Arguably _is_ your argument. That people aren't doing the above and it's causing problems. You probably agree that just spinning up Claude code on the regular plan without doing the above can still generate a fuck-ton of code but that shouldn't be used as evidence either for or against AI effectiveness.
