I agree. And this is why I wish that the narrative wasn't "LLMs will make you faster", and instead was "LLMs will improve the quality of your work". There are certainly times when you just need to pump out code that happens to be very easy to validate, and then you can actually achieve the 10x throughput improvement that so many like to claim. But generally, reviewing code is going to be at least as hard, if not harder, than writing the code. If we view coding assistants as a pair programmer, the collaboration has a throughput overhead, but two programmers should produce higher quality work than one isolated programmer.
