It's great that this is a case for you.

I actually enjoy process of writing code, understanding deeply the system I work on, finding elegant solutions to business problems - not just a list of checkboxes with features for a given sprint that agent churns in background. Sure, practically I understand that business doesn't care how well something is written as long as it works somewhat reliably. I might eventually adapt to this new horrible reality of developers who have no idea what's going on in the codebase they "work" on.

You can still understand a system deeply and find elegant solutions, and use LLMs to translate your idea into code, then review the code. It's still much faster than writing everything by hand in a lot of cases, if done properly.

    Reviewing code that was written by somebody else is one of the least fun and enjoyable activities in my experience . I personally don't know any programmers who enjoy process of doing PR reviews.

    If you only care about number of features Copilot implements for you or lines of code Claude Code gave you - you must be a manager.

      I really don't mind PR reviews, as long as the author is cooperative. I do not like arguing over obvious things with someone who isn't participating in good faith. Thankfully I have a good team in which it doesn't happen.
