alexfrantic poses a provocative question: we don't read assembly or GPU kernels, so why review AI-generated code at all — as long as it does the right thing? In the follow-up he adds nuance: reviewing cuts down slop, but models tend to overbuild and solve the immediate problem as if there's no tomorrow's maintenance cost; meanwhile reviewing demands serious concentration and is highly subjective. No right or wrong, just different trade-offs.
