Yep the bottleneck is now review and QA

I worked at a place that did pair programming. It was more intense than programming individually. Doing it for hours could be draining.

AI programming is going to be worse, because the AI comes back faster than a human would for the same work.

LLMs are like lane assist for cars. They help with common scenarios, but you still need to watch for edge cases and are ultimately responsible for the vehicle.

The difference is companies expect massive productivity boosts from AI tooling. Its as if when lane assist was invented we also doubled all the speed limits, and now everyone is stressed trying to make sure the car always stays in the lanes.
