Engineers Identify LLM-Native Code Smells During Reviews

A software engineer who reviews about 50 pull requests weekly warns that a new trend—'LLM-native code'—produces superficially flawless, ultra-polished code that nevertheless breaks integrations or solves unintended problems. The author contrasts this with older 'junior' mistakes, lists six dead giveaways that code was produced by prompting, and urges engineers to adopt a 'Turing Test' for code reviews to detect context-free, misaligned outputs.
