TL;DR: Write it so you’re actively involved and not a passive reviewer. Then a sign up link for his course.

I still exclusively write my code. The quality is higher. I know exactly how it works. It’s more extensible. You don’t have to generate it.

This is too generic. There's some code I need to write like core abstractions that are going to set the pace for everything. Or tricky steps that can look good without actually working well. Then there's the mass. I don't need that anymore. The mountains of boilerplate, etc. I write little islands which need high judgement that are then connected by the obvious goo.
