Being able to write code faster doesn't mean you are able to review it faster.

I wouldn't say it is overload, it is just that some things are faster (writing code) and some things are the same. There is backpressure but overall, things are moving slightly faster.

I also don't think it makes much of a difference at a large company when actual implementation is a relatively small part of the job anyway. Am I going to try and save 30 minutes writing a PR when it takes weeks for third-party review and the downtime is millions of dollars a minute...no.



Where's the back pressure? The LLM can spit out code faster than I can review it, and it smoke tests fine. The only pressure is for me to actually read and understand and review the code before merging it to main. But that's self imposed. Meaning that under enough pressure to ship, it gets overwhelmed and stops standing in the way of progress in the name of hard to define attributes of code like security and not webscale.
