I was reviewing a coworkers code recently. It was this convoluted multidimensional array manipulation that was shuffling, sorting, and filtering all at the same time. It had a totally generic name like "prepareData". I asked for an explanation of what the function was doing and he snapped back that I should ask an LLM instead of wasting his time.

It's been a couple weeks, but I am still irritated.

I am asking you, the person who supposedly wrote this, what it does. When you submit your code for review, that's among the most basic questions you should be prepared to answer.

Ask the LLM, attribute the LLMs response to him, and just post the feedback you have after 20 messages back and forth on the PR.

When he gets back and don't understand the feedback, then you can conveniently ask him to ask an LLM and not waste your time.
