No, because you can get LLMs to produce high quality code that has gone through an infinite number of refinement/polish cycles and is far more exhaustive than the code you would have written yourself.
Once you hit that point, you find yourself in a directional/steering position divorced from the code since no matter what direction you take, you'll get high quality code.
Only if never find opportunities to simplify the code it's writing and you don't review the code at all.
> no matter what direction you take, you'll get high quality code
This is not the case today. You get medium-quality, sometimes over-engineered code 10x faster.
But if you don't and there's no PR process (side projects), the motivation to form that connection is quite low.
