I also spend a lot of time at work trying to get the code into a shape I deem acceptable to open a MR for the team, without looking incompetent.

At home I stopped reviewing the code for my mobile app, and I do not feel this has affected maintainability.

With 150k LOC, the AI still performs changes as easily as it did three months ago, when I started the project.

If anything, the new models made it easier.

When I read all those posts from people advocating a very hands-on, understand each line approach, I speculate many come from a position like me at work or have never seriously tried 'vibecoding' a large project from scratch with SOTA models.

People routinely post that things I work on for 30 hours/week are impossible.
