Do you really find your typing speed to be the bottleneck in getting things done? I suppose that's pretty easily fixed, at least. Anyway the author did address that > Using LLMs this way allows me to work faster than not using LLMs

Sure - and a really good indicator for whether the advice is good is, "is this person educated and licensed to talk about this?" To say nothing of whether that person has the necessary - often lengthy - context necessary to provid
