I don't need to understand the theory of mind, I just tell it what to compose. Writing the actual lines after that takes longer than not writing them!

What do you mean you don’t need to understand? So what do you do when there’s a bug that an LLM can’t fix?

If your bottleneck is typing the code, you must be a junior programmer.

I don't need to understand the theory of mind because I don't have the LLM design the code, I tell it what the design is. If I need something, I can read the functions I told it to implement, which is really simple.

They said that they don't need to understand the LLM's theory of mind. I think that's crystal clear.

If there is a bug, it's vastly more likely that Opus 4.5 will spot it before I can.

Do you know one of the primary signifiers of a senior developer? Effective delegation.

Typing speed has nothing to do with any of this.

It's not about understanding the LLM's theory of mind - the direct quote was

> Understanding the theory of mind that composes the system

i.e. the logic underpinning how the system works
