Show HN: I wrote the code and let an LLM review it
I wrote the code and let an LLM review it Sep 20, 2026 • Jaysinh Shukla I learned the fundamentals of MCP architecture with an LLM. Instead of passive reading, I implemented a pet project in which the LLM was responsible for preparing a project plan, reviewing my code, answering my questions, tracking project progress but not writing a single line of code. In this post, I will describe how I leveraged an LLM for this exercise.

Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
I wrote the code and let an LLM review it Sep 20, 2026 • Jaysinh Shukla I learned the fundamentals of MCP architecture with an LLM. Instead of passive reading, I implemented a pet project in which the LLM was responsible for preparing a project plan, reviewing my code, answering my questions, tracking project progress but not writing a single line of code. In this post, I will describe how I leveraged an LLM for this exercise. Why should I still write code by hand? Learning can’t be poured into my head. I understand better when I do things by hand. During my undergraduate studies, I soon realized that reading computer science theory or a concept of a programming language from a book did not help much, but I was getting a better understanding when I was implementing it.
