If it's that straightforward I'd rather just write it. Like I said it hasn't been an overall time saver with the extra scrutiny I need to put it through. I'll try again in six months.

Also idk kinda tangent but you brought it up. I don't feel like my junior devs make easily found algorithmic mistakes like that. They're more likely to misjudge the scope of the problem or not be aware of a technical consideration or known solution. For that kind of work I'd rather... mentor a junior dev through it so they have the experience.
