LLM generated code does have some advantages at code review time. I find myself paying more attention to the diffs being in the right areas than their actual line-by-line content. It's been a long time since I've seen something like a conditional hallucinated incorrectly. The accuracy in the details is exceptional now. It's mostly a matter of ensuring we are dealing with the correct details.

The compiler does a lot of heavy lifting in the codebases I work with. Strongly typed languages seem mandatory if you want to use an LLM. Worrying about every symbol is too much. Let the CPU get hot for a few seconds on the paranoia and stay focused on the minimap.
