This feels a lot like the "humans must be ready at any time to take over from FSD" that Tesla is trying to push. With presumably similar results.
If it works 85% of the time, how soon do you catch that it is moving in the wrong direction? Are you having a standup every few minutes for it to review (edit) it's work with you? Are you reviewing hundreds of thousands of lines of code every day?
It feels a bit like pouring cement or molten steel really fast: at best, it works, and you get things done way faster. Get it just a bit wrong, and your work is all messed up, as well as a lot of collateral damage. But I guess if you haven't shipped yet, it's ok to start over? How many different respins can you keep in your head before it all blends?
