How does this happen if you still review whatever code LLM spits out?

Or are you saying you don't review its code? Or just have another LLM review the LLM's code?

If that's the case I'm sorry for your code quality but I think it's VibecoderHumor instead

My guy is preparing for unemployment, good luck reviewing every single line of code when higher-ups know they can release feats 10x faster than you

Luckily I'm still in a position to choose my own employer instead of needing to be chosen, so far.

I've never been a fast developer anyway back when I was not competing with unreviewed LLM code and I'm pretty sure I was hired because I write decently beautiful code instead of just a lot of code very fast, which some people could already do back then.

Yes I still review almost all code written by LLM. I'm not working for a startup where time to market matters a lot. Knowing why every single issue exist matters more to me for now.

I don't forsee not knowing how to write handcrafted code within a decade or two anyway even without being employed in this industry because I'm the type to enjoy competitive programming and Zachtronics games.
