Coding has many aspects: conceptual understanding of problem domain, design, decomposition, etc, and then typing code, debugging. Can you imagine person might enjoy conceptual part more and skip over some typing exercises?

The whole blog post does not mention the word "grammar". As presented, it is examples based and the LLM spit out its plagiarized code and beat it into shape until the examples passed.

We do not know whether the implied grammar is conflict free. We don't know anything.

It certainly does not look like enjoying the conceptual part.

Many established programming languages have grammatical warts, so your bar for LLMs is higher than "industry expert".

E.g. C++ `std::vector<std::vector<int>> v;`. The language defined by top fucking experts, with a 1000-page spec.
