Trusting any new code blindly is foolish, even if you’re paying a senior dev $200K/yr for it, it should be reviewed and understood by other team members before accepting it. Same is true for an LLM, but of course most organizations never do real code reviews in either scenario…

20ish years ago, I was a proponent of pair programming. It’s not for everyone. It’s not for anyone 40 hours a week, but in appropriate circumstances for a few hours at a session it can be hugely beneficial. It’s like a real-time code review during development. I see that pair programming is as popular today as it was back then, maybe even less so, but… “Vibe coding” with LLMs in chat mode? That can be a very similar experience, up to a point.
