The million-dollar question is not whether you can review at the speed the model is coding. It is whether you can trust review alone to catch everything.
If a robot assembles cars at lightning speed... but occasionally misaligns a bolt, and your only safeguard is a visual inspection afterward, some defects will roll off the assembly line. Human coders prevent many bugs by thinking during assembly.

- pton_xd 1y ago> Human coders prevent many bugs by thinking during assembly. I'm far from an AI true believer but come on -- human coders write bugs, tons and tons of bugs. According to Peopleware, software has "an average defect density of one to three defects per hundred lines of code"!
- belter 1y agoMy point is that the bugs generated by LLM or human coders are different.
