Maybe. Depends on how solid the code is in the directions that matter for that code. Does security matter? Real-time performance? Never losing a transaction? Never leaking memory? What matters for the code you're trying to write? Future maintainability? How good is AI at producing code that does not fail in the directions that matter?

People who master the fundamentals but review all the code will move much slower. But they'll be more successful in the medium to long run if they're catching things that matter. (If they aren't, of course, they're just wasting time.)

The assumption I believe is: if you are experienced enough you will instruct your agent(s) to address all of these during your iterations.
