> I’ll finish this rant with a related observation: I keep seeing people say “if I have to review every line of code an LLM writes, it would have been faster to write it myself!”

Not only is this a massive bundle of assumptions but it's also just wrong on multiple angles. Maybe if you're only doing basic CRUDware you can spend five seconds and give a thumbs up but in any complex system you should be spending time deeply reading code. Which is naturally going to take longer than using what knowledge you already have to throw out a solution.
