How much time to verify and validate that large corpus of code that they generated? Not including back and forth to get rid of hallucinations and other mistakes.

Two days total. Using TDD, you can move really fast with AI.
How does the code look? I am curious if there is proper usage of abstractions, or is logic just kind of all over the place?

Some part of me feels like LLM generated code is great if one cares about the solution, but leaves a lot to be desired if one actually cares about code quality. Then again, maybe I am just bad as using LLMs -- I prefer the chat over lettings LLMs do the work for me.

It is pretty clean. It has two swappable backends. I spent a bit of time refactoring which was easy because I have tests.
