That's the trap though. The moment you approve every step, you're no longer getting the product that was sold to you. You're doing code review on a stochastic intern. The whole 10x story depends on you eventually looking away.

Just don’t buy the tools for 10x improvements, buy them for the 1.1x improvement and the help it gives with the annoying stuff like refactoring arguments to a function that’s used all over, writing tests, etc. They can also help reduce cognitive load in certain ways when you just use them to ask about your large code base.
