Typically working with a junior on a project is slower than not working with them. It's a little odd you see this as like that and that it's also faster.

I don't think it's odd, because LLMs are just way faster than any junior (or senior) Dev. So it's more like working with four junior devs but with the benefit of having tasks done sequentially without the additional overhead of having to give tasks to individual juniors and context switching to review their changes.

(Obviously, there are a whole lot of new pitfalls, but there a real benefits in some circumstances)
