Review-First Programming
A food critic can't necessarily plate at Michelin level, and it doesn't matter. Knowing a dish is wrong is its own thing, same as an editor fixing a novel she couldn't have written herself. That skill is the one LLMs keep pushing forward.
They make the cost split visible. Coming up with what to say is the heavy lift, and review gets to skip it, since the work is already on the screen for you to poke at.
Old news, really. "Real Programmers Don't Use Pascal" (1983) mocked structured programming as "quiche eating," and every abstraction after it caught the same flak from people who liked the layer below.
I've quit reading review-first work as a slide into softness. Looks like specialization from where I sit. The people getting ahead are the ones who can look at a working feature and still say we don't need this one.
