I felt the same with:

"it takes too much effort to get the output production ready"

turning into

"maybe long term the maintenance will be more expensive"

I give it three months until people realize that you rarely need to review every single line and fully understand the code, like so many comments are claiming.

If you work on a product that has an existing user base that has an expectation that things will still work then you definitely still need to read the code. LLMs frequently break things or introduce subtle incompatibilities.

Maybe on projects with no users you can yolo things.

It's not about the number of users but the kind of software you develop.

In a mobile app, do you think it's more important to test that your drag gesture works as expected on the phone, or to understand every line of the implementation?
