I generally produce nearly the same code I'd write myself about 5x faster with AI. I don't just let Claude Code run wild for a long time and have a mess to review. I have it do small chunks I can quickly review, give it feedback, iterate, etc until I like the output, then I move on to the next step. This takes time of course but I've found it faster than reviewing a giant mess of a code review.

Why? It would help understand what “the same code I would’ve written” means.

if that were the intent it wouldn’t have needed someone else to explain the demand.

Share the concrete problems you have with LLMs and we might be able to help you out.
