The depressing truth is most I know just run all these tools in /yolo mode or equivalents.
Because your coworkers definitely are, and we're stack ranked, so it's a race (literally) to the bottom. Just send it...
(All this actually seems to do is push the burden on to their coworkers as reviewers, for what it's worth)
You're mixing up two things though. One is what the agent does "locally", wherever that might be (for me it's inside a VM), and second is what code you actually share or as you call "send".
Just because you don't want to gate every change in #1, doesn't mean you're just throwing shit via #2, I'm still reviewing my code as much as before, if not more now, before I consider it ready to be reviewed by others.
But I'm seemingly also one of the few developers who seem to take responsibility of the code I produce, even if AI happens to have coded it.

Right but in practice from what I've seen at work, it does.
You're right: it shouldn't inherently, but that's what I've been seeing.

Pretty much what I'm getting at, yeah
There's a huge psychological difference between 1) letting the agent write whatever then editing it for commit, and 2) approving the edits. There shouldn't be, but there is.
