> Can you read a contract and tell whether the courts will accept it
Of course you can, if you understand the law. It's the same with professional sports; a random guy off the street isn't going to be proficient as a coach, but someone that deeply understands the domain -- as I mentioned -- can create and review code for quality without being able to write the code at that level or proficiency.
Erik Spoelstra is a great example. Played basketball and had a short professional stint in lower leagues in Europe. Started off reviewing tape for the Miami Heat and went on to be a very successful coach. He doesn't make the plays, but he knows which players and which plays he needs. He knows when a player makes a good play and when a player makes a bad play. He substitutes players as needed for each situation. He deeply knows the domain, even if he can't himself play at that level.
When the LLM can code 100x faster than you, your job isn't to be a better coder, it's to be a better coach.
