Phase 1 (mid 2025): Have AI write the simple stuff if you want, but hand-write the important core stuff.
Phase 2 (late 2025): OK, let AI write the important core stuff, too, but review every line of code.
Phase 3 (early 2026): Wow, AI is making virtually no mistakes, so only review the important core stuff that it writes.
Now (since mid 2026): If using newer models like Opus 5.5 or Astra, no need to review its code as long as the behavior is as expected. I'm no longer a software developer or coder, I'm a software creator.
