> it's how good senior engineers already work

The other trick all good ones I’ve worked with converged on: it’s quicker to write code than review it (if we’re being thorough). Agents have some areas where they can really shine (boilerplate you should maybe have automated already being one), but most of their speed comes from passing the quality checking to your users or coworkers.

Juniors and other humans are valuable because eventually I trust them enough to not review their work. I don’t know if LLMs can ever get here for serious industries.
