Totally agree with this. When I review code I don't build a strong mental model of the system, and I think you can only really do that by solving the problems that arise during the creation of the system yourself. I'm optimistic the pendulum will swing away from the "hand off a spec to an agent(s)" and back towards engineers being engaged and directing LLMs to implement/optimize smaller, more specific pieces of code, with most of the direction being determined by the user
