The commits are revealing.

Look at this one:

> Ask Claude to remove the "backup" encryption key. Clearly it is still important to security-review Claude's code!

> prompt: I noticed you are storing a "backup" of the encryption key as `encryptionKeyJwk`. Doesn't this backup defeat the end-to-end encryption, because the key is available in the grant record without needing any token to unwrap it?

I don’t think a non-expert would even know what this means, let alone spot the issue and direct the model to fix it.

That is how LLM:s should be used today. An expert prompts it and checks the code. Still saves a lot of time vs typing everything from scratch. Just the other day I was working on a prototype and let claude write code for a auth flow. Everything was good until the last step where it was just sending the user id as a string with the valid token. So if you got a valid token you could just pass in any user id and become that user. Still saved me a lot of time vs doing it from scratch.

For me, it’s not the typing - it’s the understanding. If I’m typing code, I have a mental model already or am building one as I type, whereas if I have an LLM generate the code then it’s “somebody else’s code” and I have to take the time to understand it anyway in order to usefully review it. Given that’s the case, I find it’s often quicker for me to just key the code myself, and come away with a better intuition for how it works at the end.
