Well written. I also wrote in my personal notes yesterday that if you don't organically and continuously develop code, it's hard to say you truly "own" it.

Like self-driving cars, at least you remember the scenery along the way, but now it just teleports you to another place and then shows you the recording.

This kind of review is ineffective. Such ghosted code might be acceptable for small tools, but for databases or similar systems, it's really worrying.

I've now basically stopped granting the agent any write permissions and returned to how I wrote codes 2 years ago with manual QA. The thing is, it's actually more efficient in turns of tokens and the results.

That's just my personal experience.
