I don't look at much code in my own work anymore. Sometimes, I'm just lazy. But mostly, I trust but verify. I spent a lot of months looking at every line, hand-editing, etc. I built a fair bit of trust. I learned the best way to assign tasks and structure the work. Beyond that, I definitely keep the architecture for myself. And I do believe that prior manual fluency is a requirement for being this hands off.
