I enjoyed this book very much!
I just wanted to point out, though, that the example on page 154 is probably not the best. There, the author shows how the AI-generated code is "verbose" - and that a human might generate a better approach such as the code sample on the top of page 155.
However, the AI-generated code - while longer - is actually more efficient than the shorter version. This is because the AI-generated version has a time complexity of O(N), as it doesn't have to do any sorting. (It takes advantage of the fact that each list is already sorted.) The shorter version, though, takes O(N log N) time since sorting is required.
Best,
Jay
