fnthawar dropped a spicy one-liner: "You need better engineers to work with LLMs," amplified by andreisavu.
The implication: the bottleneck in AI-assisted coding isn't the model but the engineer — weaker engineers just produce bad code faster, while strong engineers extract real value. A single-line take, but it hits the ongoing debate over whether AI empowers or displaces mediocre engineers.
