Like it's so easy to make mistakes here.

Yeah.

In this case, I think, so I have the same struggle that you do, right?

Like where I'm like, you know, when I'm reviewing code, especially when I'm on like looking at github.com, I'm sure we all have our complaints about the GitHub, you know, I'm sure, right?

Why bother, right?

So I had a bit of the same experience.

I feel like I was kind of somewhere in between.

here where I think much of this depends on how, or at least for me, depended on how intensely you and the LLM were pairing with each other, right?

So I've had experiences with an LLM.

So for this one of an LLM, it just was doing its thing and I was not paying a huge amount of attention.

And then I ended up reviewing it and it made maybe two or three mistakes, right?

But also, I felt like I was pretty assured by the fact that all the hard bits were kind of handwritten, and then the LLM was just wrapping those hard bits, right?

So it was doing relatively easy things.

There have been other things that I've used LLM for, especially Opus 4.5 over the holidays.

And for those ones, I ended up having this very intense mind-meld pairing session

And like that felt like, you know, I knew every single line of code and what it was doing.

Right.

And so I was like, you know, carefully kind of working through things.

And I was like a wild time, but like, I felt like it depends on kinds of more to end up using it.

And so, so, you know, it depends, but I do, you know, like even like the current LLMs and, and again, this can change because I know, I know things have advanced so quickly, but even current LLMs have, um,
