Things that helped me get out of the AI 10x engineer imposter syndrome 12 months ago
Is typing speed a bottle neck for people? Because otherwise you’re offloading thinking to the LLM. Unless you can understand code faster than you can write it (which I’ve never experienced - best case scenario I can understand as fast as I read).
As a junior I used to think it was ok to spend much less time on the review than the writing, but unless the author has diligently detailed their entire process a good review often takes nearly as long. And unsurprisingly enough working with an AI effectively requires that detail in a format the AI can understand (which often takes longer than just doing it).
