I probably review about 1k LoC worth of PRs / day from my coworkers. It certainly doesn't take me 33 hours (!!) to do so, so I must be one of those rockstar 10x superhero ninja engineers I keep hearing about.

Are your coworkers producing the code using LLMs? And what level of trust do you place in them?

For half my coworkers, their LLM code is better than their code.

That’s depressing. For 80% of my coworkers their LLM code is horrible. Only the seniors seem to use it well and not just spit out garbage

I think that goes back to whether they are programmers vs engineers.

Engineers will focus on professionalism of the end product, even if they used AI to generate most of the product.

And I'm not going by "title", but by mindset. Most of my fellow engineers are not - they are just programmers - as in, they don't care about the non-coding part of the job at all.
