    Agents for generation, humans for review

      One, that sounds truly miserable.

      Two, there is a decent body of evidence to suggest that this method does not actually speed up development unless you go full lights out software factory which… Why would you want to do that?

      EDIT: As an aside this actually reminds me of the Xerox park study into efficiency gains for keyboard heavy workflows vice mouse heavy workflows. Keyboards were perceived as faster by subjects but when actually measured the mouse was faster.

        That’s just because I need to stop and appreciate my efficiency for 10 seconds every time it saves me 10 seconds :-)
