I feel lucky to work in an environment where the sheer amount of code we need to produce is not the bottleneck, so it is actually possible to build the stuff we need while also maintaining understanding and oversight. We do not read all code but work on finding a balance. Many times, the code you do not have to write at all is the best.

It is certainly possible also for us to produce so much code that all hope of understanding and human in the loop is practically gone, but as i wrote this is not the bottleneck and so doing it would the wrong choice.

If you work somewhere where every additional line of code is a positive, I understand if you take this more radical approach of just letting the machine make all decisions.
