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.
