> When code is expensive to produce and is likely to stay in production for many years it's obviously important to review it very carefully. If code is cheap and can be inexpensively replaced maybe we can lower our review standards?
I don't care how cheap it is to replace the incorrect code when it's modifying my bank account or keeping my lights on.
Oh, don't worry, even before AI the companies in question were already outsourcing a lot of this to the cheapest companies they could find. We are just very very lucky most of the problems incurred get caught before being foisted on the wider world.
