> Maybe I don't understand journalism but this guy being a reporter, shouldn't he have had an editor reviewing his work before they hit publish?
While the journalist is still responsible for their own actions, I agree with you that this being published in the first place is indicative of a deeper failure akin to - "if a junior dev accidentally deletes your production db on their first day that's on the company itself"
> failure akin to - "if a junior dev accidentally
This person was not a junior.
He chose to use the AI tools knowing that they hallucinate.
The comparisons to an untrained junior are illogical. This person was a long time reporter who knew better.
Even a senior dev being able to unilaterally delete your prod entirely should not be possible.
But I don't think the intention was to compare with junior devs, its just a popular shorthand for "your process sucks".
> But I don't think the intention was to compare with junior devs
Junior was said specifically.
A better analogy would be if one of your staff engineers decided to connect OpenClaw to his workspace and it found a way to delete the production DB.
The author was an AI reporter. You can’t argue that he didn’t know what he was doing when he made these choices. Any comparisons involved junior devs are just dishonest.
