How did the garbage code make it in? Are there no code reviews in your process? (Serious question, not trying to be snarky.)

It's a large enough team and there are members that rubber stamp everything.

Takes just a lunch break for the review to go up and get approved by someone that just made sure there's code there. (Who is also primarily using LLMs without verifying)

  • When you're not rubber stamping things, you will get called out on reducing velocity or perfectionism..

    Plus the time you're reviewing is the time you're not coding, so of course you get dinged on your own velocity further.

    Ultimately proper review is a career limiting move. Unless you're a pro auditor.
