Because the code generated is only as good as the initial description of what you want. It's not too different from "standard" coding where you have a first go at solving it and then iterate and polish as you go along.

I've had multiple situations where things "just worked" and at other times you just have to steer it in the right direction a few times, having another agent doing the review works really well (with the right guardrails), it's like having someone with no other intent or bias review your code.

Unless you're talking about "vibe coding" in which case "correct" doesn't really matter as you're not even looking at what the output is, just let it go back/forth until something that works comes out, I haven't had much success or even enjoyed it as much working this way, took me a couple of months to find the sweet spot (my sweetspot, I think it'll be different for everyone).
