Was this comment written by an LLM? It seems like it was to me. e.g. the “paradox” is not a paradox at all and is just an obvious statement.

A developers job has always been reviewing and understanding code.

Code is literally always the last resort. Unless you're building solutions for other customer, most companies should attempt to minimise the amount of code they have. Because, and I repeat, it's a developers job to understand and review code. More code, more understanding needed, more reviews needed, more problems created.
