I'm genuinely not convinced it actually saves time once a full accounting has been made. You get the initial result faster, but then you inflict a super slow and torturous review process on yourself or a teammate. Even if the review manages to bring it up to parity, over time you will keep slowing down as more and more code was never written by the humans directing the agents, so their understanding decays.

I at least give the new interns a stern warning: it is easy to speed yourself up by slowing others down if you pump a lot of slop.
