well, that is a problem with automation in general i think; if you go too far instead of a simple process a complicated processes get encoded in the automation and if it hits an edge case or breaks for whatever reason the babysitting kills productivity (this is just my experience anyways)

also, as far as quality goes, once something is automated that potential breakage puts a cap on how much improvement/quality you can achieve later... i'd guess llms are a bit more malleable there, but idk, i still see this issue even with skills and such...
