I argue you still need to cognitively load the solution, it's just that well written code allows you to (a) segment the code base effectively and (b) hold it at a higher level of abstraction.


Absolutely. The comment I was responding to argued the difficulty was that LLM code wasn't loaded cognitively. I'm arguing the problem is actually the code produced by LLMs tends to be messy and hard to follow beyond trivial examples.
