Skill issue.

Genuinely though, this is accurate

It's accurate that it's a skill issue, or what Cory originally stated is accurate?

Accurate that it's a skill issue. Why is being a bit flippant about it but it's accurate. Good engineers know how to get good work out of llms; bad ones produce tech debt. Same as ever

Can you be more precise? Give us an example of a recent decision you took, that the LLM will incorrectly advise the lesser engineer on.

Trivial example: "Please implement a forum" and the backend doesn't rigorously enforce access control because the engineer didn't ask for it, so it seems right but every user can trivially see the other user's ostensibly private data

Free ChatGPT did not incorrectly advise me. It seems like your advice was redundant in this case.
