The point is, it’s a game of chance and yet good players beat bad players in the long run. Your job in the new era of software engineering is to design the process so LLMs doing your code monkeying avoid the losses (including discarding bad changes) and take the wins. Win often enough and you’ll come out ahead.

The extent to which LLMs help is determined by how well acquainted you are with the domain. But it will always push you directionally in the right direction.

In your case, you used a language example and this is one where LLMs have natural strength in. I don’t need to be an expert in Spanish to trust it because I know that LLMs are specifically good at catching these problems.

But again there are limits and good to understand it.
