> I am going to try to make these points to my team, because I am seeing a huge influx of AI-generated PRs where the submitter interacts with CodeRabbit etc. by having Claude/Codex respond to feedback on their behalf.
Are people generally unhappy with the outcomes of this? As anecdotally, it does seem to pass review later on. Code is getting through this way.
It's slippery. You're swamped with low-effort PRs, can't possibly test and review all of them. You will become a visible bottleneck, and guess whether it's easier to defend quality vs. "blocking a lot of features" which "seem to work". If you're tied by your salary as a reviewer, you will have to let go, and at the same time you'll suffer the consequences of the "lack of oversight" when things go south.
The Board has decided that we can no longer afford artisanal, hand-crafted software, and that machine-made will suffice for nearly all use cases.
Enshittification Enterprise Edition.
The board wants their cake and eat it too.
They want AI to write all code but also still be able to fire humans for failure, because an AI can't be blamed right now.
Boy I can't wait for this employment norm. Fired because you weren't allowed to take the time to review important code but "You are responsible"
I wish Executives were required to be that "responsible"
