A huge red flag right here. Its ok to not know things, its ok to use LLM to fill the gaps. Its ok to fail. It is in no way ok to not care and only fess up to having a mass of code you have no idea about when your senior reviewer asks you about it. At the very minimum the ask should go the other direction - "I got this generated code and I am not sure I understand what's going on, could you help me to see if that's the right direction" would be acceptable. Just not caring is not.
