> you still have to read and understand the code Which is a very similar approach to any serious code. If you just hired a very clever, enormously knowledgeable intern, and they wrote a bunch of code for you overnight, you would probably review it. Yes, in some cases, either hobby projects or throwaway code, you could just take it and use it as is, and I surely do, for the code no one cares about. But at work, I would rather review it.
