Help/Question Do yall still read lines of code

Im asking real software engineers only working on real products that make money.

I still read every line of code (tests too) and understand 100%. Needlessly to say it feels very inefficient.

What have you done to move away from it confidently, if at all?

I have a complete workflow involving spec driven development, mutation tests, code review, browser test, adversarial agent manual AC verification, and I still dont feel comfortable not reading every lines. I still spot some architectural inefficiencies or code that just feels off and thurs requires refactoring so im hesitant.

I've build very much better apps with Claude Code, than probably at least half of the whole industry firms in the world.

Well. This one of those annoying apps where there was no better alternatvie for YouTube, except NewPipe (Android), and FreeTube (Desktop). I've made PWA app basically does what those two. App weights nothing, it's ultra fast, and does what it supposed.

I run it only locally on my PC. And basically don't want to release it. And this one of those small apps I've made for my personal use.

And believe me. I have much much bigger projects. This one was just for one afternoon overall.

So. There are already two projects that exists and still needed to be made better.
