I agree that people have varied experience with LLMs helping them write code. I think the article is right that it's because it's lack intuitiveness leads people to inefficient ways of doing it.
I think the most valuable suggestions from the article that I've found work well for me are:
Context - Provide sufficient context and a way to do this continually. Some tools do this for you like Cursor or Claude Code.
Testing - You need to be able to quickly test the code it gives you. It may be wrong the first time but right the second. The faster you can get to validating the faster you can get to the right code. It's likely going to be faster than writing it yourself.
If you're still having trouble, then find someone who isn't ask see if they'll let you watch them code with LLMs!
