> As I manually type every single line of LLM generated code into my editor, I build up a mental model of how it works and fits into my existing codebase. If I don't understand an API or algorithm, I can stop to look it up, or just ask the LLM to explain it.

This is part of how I learned how to code! Well, sans LLMs. Instead of copypasta-ing code blocks from books, Expert Sexchange and Stack Overflow, I manually retyped everything, looked up what I didn't understand and changed what I could.
