I don’t think the article means dogfooding. I think they mean that you can’t design a system unless you’re intimately involved with coding it.

And of course that’s still wrong. It happens all the time. And things end up working out the majority of the time.

Most of the people I hear being critical of AI Coding are very clear about what it’s good for, and what it isn’t.

If someone is wholly for or against something, their advice generally isn’t very good.+
