2023 is a while but I thought it was a fair description of what LLMs are doing, how they work, and what that means for programing. The blog post is a discussion of work being done in the field (at the time at least). He did not say it is a pointless endeavor. It sounded more like LLMs are just not like a human mentor that can guide the way, but more like an assistant that might help with some of the grudge work (sort of).
