The fact is that most people skip learning about what works (learning is not cheap mentally). I’ve seen teammates just trying stuff (for days) until something kinda works instead of spending 30 mns doing research. The fact is that LLMs are good for producing something that looks correct, and waste the reviewer time. It’s harder to review something than writing it from scratch.

Learning is also exponential, the more you do it, the faster it is, because you may already have the foundations for that particular bit.
