The act of coding preserves your skills for that all-important verification step. No coding and the whole system falls apart.

Exactly, how are you supposed to verify anything when you don't have any skills left beyond prompting.
You don't. That's why you don't use an LLM most of the time. I was talking about cases where either the tasks were too boring or required an expertise that I didn't have at the time.
Thought it was obvious.

How do you verify code that you don't have the expertise to write on your own?

Absolutely. That's why I don't give the LLM the reins for long, nor do I tell it to do the whole thing. I want to keep my mind sharp and my abilities honed.
