Writing code is cheap. Coming up with a plan to stay updated on specs and verification are not so cheap, and you need more attention there than ever, because an LLM will take your half-assed spec and claim victory as it prints linted code that compiles and passes a few token unit tests while being under (500 or 1000) LoC.

That's PoC-level, happy-path-only engineering and LLMs are very dangerous at inserting subtle hardcoded values and cheats along the way, which makes it really hard to spot them later on. You need a system to whack them before they infect your codebase terminally, be it hyper vigilance, more SCA, more TDD, SDD... Otherwise you'll wake up one day with a production incident at 3 am and wonder how that code was even allowed in the release bundle.
