I get this and operated this way for most of 2025. In Q4 I paired up with peer who has similar experience level to me. They specialize in TypeScript, I specialize in Go, we're both ops / platform grey beards.

This pattern of LLM usage has been great for leaning the other's skill set so we can more effectively review each other's code. I can spend a week planning and iterating with Claud on TypeScript, then have my peer review and correct both the implemented outcome _and_ the plan that produced it, allowing me to learn how to drive the LLM more effectively in my non-preferred language. The same is true of him, he's able to autonomously learn and iterate on Go in a way that's efficient and respectful of my time.

More anecdotal evidence supporting the concept these tools are a super-power for experienced engineers, especially when you have a small group of them working together in multiple languages.
