Looks like many are questioning the credibility of the author as a dev/engineer. Peter is the founder of PDFKit and well respected name in iOS circles for his contribution to .framework and ideas about building modular iOS apps. He may be overselling here, but pretty sure he can manage AI generated code

Your PDFKit is PSPDFKit.

Also I don’t think that there are more than a handful of people in the world who can properly manage a 1 million LOC codebase regardless of source. Even when you remove the ton of useless comments which his code has.

Also the first file which I checked: https://github.com/amantus-ai/llm-codes/blob/main/src/lib/__...

This is not how dates should be tested at all. Timestamp and stack are ignored with errors with parents. If you want really nice code then have one expect per test case. Useless comments. Type guards testing is a joke.

And these classes are very simple ones.

So no, he cannot manage this code. Especially because tests are basically the most important part of good LLM generated code, and LLMs will lie with them all the time.
