Code could be shipped very fast using LLMs. It is now of a questionable quality sometimes but that would certainly improve. For Yii we use GitHub copilot for reviews along with human review already and that helps to catch more issues and speed things up because review is provided earlier.

LLMs amplify good parts of a human engineer — they help shipping more, they free us from many routine tasks. They can even help with less trivial things like code review and even some architectural decisions and that's great. At the same time, they amplify bad parts many times more: Unmanaged tech…

LLMs won't help you much if you have no idea what you need and try to vibe-code solution anyway. If you know what you're doing, even if there are unknowns, LLMs are a big help but if you have no idea, LLMs are the opposite.
