> review every diff line by line

If you're this meticulous is it really any faster than writing code manually? I have found that in cases where I do care about the line-by-line it's actually slower to run it through Claude. It's only where I want to shovel it out that it's faster.

Yes, I definitely think it's much faster than writing it manually. For a few weeks now, >95% of the code I've authored wasn't written manually.

Sometimes you only care about the high level aspect of it. The requirements and the high-level specification. But writing the implementation code can take hours if you're unfamiliar with a specific library, API or framework.

"review every diff line by line" is maybe not the best way to have described it, I essentially I meant that I review the AI's code as if it were a PR written by a team member, so I'd still care about alignment with the rest of the codebase, overall quality, reasonable performance, etc.
