llms remove a lot of the difficulty of writing a ton of reasonable code, but is that really the bottleneck to producing a bunch of PRs? isn't it the reviewing

isn't it the reviewing time? reviewing code is hard work
- wakawaka28 10mo agoReviewing code can be hard but it's not as hard as writing the code. Even with the best autocomplete, and ergonomic editors like vim, it still takes quite a bit of time to write code for some features compared to the actual concepts being implemented. There are also lots of decisions like variable names that can be automated with a LLM. If you don't like what it came up with, you can tell it to change them. I recommend that you keep them fairly unique like you would for your own handwritten code, because ambiguity creates problems for people and machines alike.
