> ... Still saves a lot of time vs typing everything from scratch ...

how ? the prompts have still to be typed right ? and then the output examined in earnest.

>>signa1+(OP)
A prompt can be as little as a sentence to write hundreds of lines of code.

>>signa1+(OP)
not if you don't want to. speech to text is pretty good these days, and even eg aider has a /voice command thanks to OpenAI's whisper.

>>fastba+33
Hundreds of lines that you have to carefully read and understand.

>>signa1+(OP)
Latest project I been working on. Prompts are a few sentences (and technically I dictate them instead of typing) and the LLM generates a few hundred lines of code.

>>shaky-+1I
Depends on what it is doing. A html template without JS? Enough to just check if it looks right and works.

>>shaky-+1I
You also have to do that with code you write without LLM assistance.

>>shaky-+1I
Are you not doing that already?

I go line-by-line through the code that I wrote (in my git client) before I stage+commit it.

>>fastba+5T1
Yes, but you know the kind of code you write. When you re-check it, you are looking for minor typos, no major logic flaws affecting half the committed code.

>>fastba+5T1
You read at the same speed line-by-line your code when you are in your git client?

You are doing something wrong. I go line-by-line through my code like 7x faster than I would do it for someone's else code, because I know what I wrote, my own intentions, my flow of coding and all of those details. I can just look at it en passant, while with AI code I need to carefully review every single detail and the connection between them to approve it.
