Not to detract from this point, but I don’t think I understand what half the code I have written does if it’s been more than a month since I wrote it…

At time of writing and commit, I am certain you "stand behind" your code. I think the author refers to the new script kiddies of the AI time. Many do not understand what the AI spits out at time of copy/paste.
No reasonable company pipes stuff directly to prod you still have some code review an d QA. So doesn’t matter if you copy from SO without understanding or LLM generates code that you don’t understand.
Both are bad but still happen and world didn’t crash.
It also generates code customized to your request, so there is temptation to avoid doing even the minimal work of "how do I turn this SO snippet into something that works with my program?"
