My anecdote: an entire start to finish app. I didn’t write a single line.

> I personally can't accept shipping unreviewed code. It feels wrong. The product has to work, but the code must also be high-quality.

What’s the definition of high-quality? For the project I was working on, I just needed it to work without any obvious bugs. It’s not an app for an enterprise business critical purpose, life critical (it’s not a medical device or something), or regulated industry. It’s just a consumer app for convenience and novelty.

The app is fast, smaller than 50MB, doesn’t have any bugs that the AI couldn’t fix for my test users. Sounds like the code is high quality to me.

I literally don’t give a shit what the code looks like. You gotta remember that code is just one of many methods to implement business logic. If we didn’t have to write code to achieve the result of making apps and websites it would have no value and companies wouldn’t hire software engineers.

I don’t write all my apps this way, but in this specific case letting Jesus take the wheel made sense and saved me a ton of time.
