I don’t even disagree that “AI can help experienced engineers write better code in less time”, but “It would be too annoying for a human to ever write code to standards this high” when the standards are “zero dependencies, no libc, no alloc, no std, and [correctness]” and the project is <1500 lines of Rust implementing 20 syscalls is a little much. All software ever written before 2023 was written by humans, remember?

Of course. The humans that could have written this -eventually- certainly exist but they could not have collaborated with me to get me these results on my exact schedule in a week for the few dollars of pay I spent on electricity.

That is the real difference.
