The really interesting part to me is how he ends up by saying "I recommend you feed this repo into the agent and just have it help you set it up, it's super easy ..."

The average person is likely to feel overwhelmed by this, which I think is what is likely going to shape the new economy gig of "AI engineers". Those that aren't overwhelmed by it and that may not only enjoy doing this but also potentially figure out a way to scale operations that allow doing these kinds of DYI reverse engineer hack jobs.
