You're definitely limited by how fast you can read and understand.

True, but the jury is still out whether text generators help out with either of those.

Understand probably not, but they can read bizarrely fast and write a summary of what things do very fast ; maybe not 100% accurately but close enough to be of value when trying to understand a large bag of code fast.

Is there some alternative, though? Using an LLM might speed up writing code, but obviously can't speed up reading and interpreting it.
