it was probably not the real Satoshi, but a scammer. they are pretty common in there.

Yes, to some extent because AI only assisted the developer achieve their goal.

But the developer is clearly talented, no doubt about that. They know their stuff very well. Having tried writing a text editor myself, I could quickly tell they know their stuff by analysing the program design

Nice read!

I also believe the difference between expert level and amateur programmers will be a lot easier to spot. Especially around the software or system architecture

Due to the inherent GIGO behavior of any software, it'll be a lot easier to tell that the code or software wasn't written by someone with deep knowledge since LLMs' output is just a good reflection of your prompts and creativity while at it(prompting). For instance, a prompt from Ken Thompson can't be exactly similar to your average Joe programmer. I've seen it a lot with most new open-source projects nowadays.

Sure?

Does it work if I have packages that have nodejs c++ addons?

Truth!

Lydia is very good at presenting complex ideas simply and well. I've read and watched most of her work or videos. She really goes to great lengths in her work to make it come to life. Highly recommend her articles and YouTube videos.

Though she's been writing less I think due to her current job

I think you should read to learn, instead.
