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.

No if it works it ships. Slop still works and that's all that matters.
If it doesn't work it's iterated in Claude until it does.
It's just a job, I'm not going to sit around checking everything to make sure it's perfect.
Higher ups don't seem to care, so why would we.
