Agreed. The article bemoans the fact that AIs don’t need to work in the inefficient way that most humans prefer, getting micro-level feedback from IDEs and REPLs to reduce our mistake count as we go.
If you take a hard look at that workflow, it implies a high degree of incompetence on the part of humans: the reason we generally don’t write thousands of lines without any automated feedback is because our mistake rate is too high.
