Which is similar to correcting subpar human results:

Rather than meticulously correcting the works of a subpar programmer it is much more efficient to let a proficient developer produce the code. Or even better, engage a 10x developer.

Efficiency can be measured in a lot of dimensions and often times spending time and money writing optimized code is inefficient as well.
