In my case I am more than capable of producing better code than the LLM, but I have never been the fastest on my team. My development speed was acceptable because the quality and robustness of the output was worth the time that thoughtfulness took. I was also able to improve the comprehensibility and robustness of my colleagues' code during code reviews.

But in the new environment of LLM-assisted coding, the LLM produces acceptable code so much faster than I can write it. Just taking time to understand and retool the LLM's output means an order of magnitude lower productivity and it doesn't feel like that's acceptable in this era.

Folks I know are landing 10+ PRs a day and nobody is reviewing anymore, and these are not companies that would have been skipping code review 2 years ago. The whole culture is turning against taking the time to comprehend and reason about our own work.
