This is what happens when increased velocity is demanded. It takes at least as long to verify that the code works well as it would have for me to write and verify. I can pump out a ton of code with an LLM, but if you want quality it’ll take me just as long as 2 years ago, probably longer because of my decreased practice lately
Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place. Therefore, if you write the code as cleverly as possible, you are, by definition, not smart enough to debug it.

Having lots of code appear out of thin air isn’t really if any help in making functional systems.
