The same logic applies to your statement:

> Do that enough and you won't know enough about your codebase to recognise errors in the LLM output.

Okay, when that happens, then sure, you'll have a problem.

I have not seen any evidence that that is currently the case i.e. I have no problems correcting LLM output when needed.

When the situation changes, then we can talk about pulling back on LLM usage.

And the crucial point is: me.

I'm not saying that everyone that uses LLM to generate code won't fall into "not able to use LLM generated code".

I now generate 90% of the code with LLM and I see no issues so far. Just implementing features faster. Fixing bugs faster.

It's not exactly the same: how will you know that you are missing errors due to lack of knowledge?

> I now generate 90% of the code with LLM and I see no issues so far.

Well, that's my point, innit? "I see no errors" is exactly the same outcome from "missing the errors that are generated".
