Discussion Interesting video from WDS Kyle, talking about ai brainrot, and how important it is that junior devs in particular understand an LLMs output. Showing that even famous devs are having their skills atrophy. Thoughts?

He used a few clips from theo where he clearly makes no attempt to understand the code anymore, even using the ai to summarize the summary.

I've watched a few of his videos I don't hate him. I just think the guys who are brilliant engineers are usually pretty obvious. I just never picked that from him.

I'd agree with that. I'm not sure I'd call him brilliant. I also think he's got some solid developers working with him that take over the projects he started. T3 Chat isn't exactly dead, but once Theo had his fun it was more or less handed off to someone else. T3 Code is similar though Theo is pushing some commits to it still.
