Never thought I'd find myself questioning Antirez, but I have many questions about this post and overall attitude. For example:

> Yes: I identify things that I don’t like how they are coded, but if I open other Redis files written by other Redis contributors there is far worse, and not since they are not good coders, but because it is a matter of taste.

Why is the attitude here about keeping the floor up rather than raising the bar?

Why can't we have better code with AIs? Its not impossible to do!

When I implement things by basically pairing with the AI, I end up with better designs/architectures/code than I could have written by myself.

It sounds like some people think of the AI code paradigm as one where there will be fewer but better devs producing code/designs of lower quality than they could individually produce, but that is higher quality than the average dev could produce.

Is that really better than a world where AI raises the average across the board at the expense of a bit of speed? At the very least, it seems like a far less risky and less disruptive way to still capture significant benefits from AI.
