> Teams that care about quality will take the time to review and understand (and more often than not, rework) LLM-generated code before it makes it into the repo. This slows things down, to the extent that any time saved using the LLM coding assistant is often canceled out by the downstream effort.
I recently tried a mini experiment for myself to (dis)prove similar notions. I feel more convinced we'll figure out a way to use LLMs and keep maintainable repositories.
i intentionally tried to use a language I'm not as proficient in (but obv have a lot of bg in programming) to see if I could keep steering the LLM effectively

and I saved a *lot* of time.
