> manage the process so that does not happen

This is the gold, right here.

It doesn't engineer. It writes code. Enthusiastically. Usually without thinking about the bigger picture, the design, the architecture, the trade-offs, etc.

It's up to us to manage that process.

It's why senior engineers are finding LLMs a really useful tool - because we've learned to think about all that other stuff before opening the text editor. Writing the actual code was always the easy (and least valuable) bit.
