I think the point of the comment you replied to is that "reviewing code" is different in a regular work situation of reviewing a coworkers PR vs checking that the LLM generated something that matches what you requested.

I don't send my coworkers lists of micromanaged directions that give me a pretty clear expectation of what their PR is going to look like. I do however, occasionally get tagged on a review for some feature I had no part in designing, in a part of some code base I have almost no experience with.

Reviewing that the components you asked for do what you asked is a much easier scenario.

Maybe if people are asking an LLM to build an entire product from scratch with no guidance it would take a lot more effort to read and understand the output. But I don't think most people do that on a daily basis.

Don't try to argue with those using AI coding tools. They don't interact well with actual humans, which is why they've been relegated to talking to the computer. We'll eventually have them all working on some busy projects to help with "marketing" to keep them distracted while the decent programmers that can actually work in a team environment can get back to useful work free of the terrible programmers and marketing departments.

    Is that what you and your buddies talk about at two hour long coffee/smoke breaks while “terrible” programmers work?

      I mostly just look at numbers every once in a while and try to keep them going in the right direction.
