And a distracted tester? And a distracted pipeline of regression tests?
No, the truth is way worst...

I'd love to see the spike in their projected earnings internal dashboard :)
Your assuming they have testers and a pipeline of regression tests anymore...
What if there's only half a dev and a swarm of agents after the layoffs?
> only half a dev
That's one way to cut staff.
Yep, the truth is nobody cares when people start submitting dozens of PRs a day with a bunch of AI-generated code reviews attached to it, all saying everything looks good. I'm witnessing this happening at my workplace right now: Sr/Staff uses Claude to generate 10 pages of design document, Jr uses Claude/Cursor to generate a humongous commit based on this document and create a PR, then bunch of automated AI-based code reviews kick in and say this looks good, another Sr/Staff takes a glance and rubber stamp it, while looking at the company's stock value and/or OpenAI/Anthropic job description.
It's a shit show.
> the truth is nobody cares
The number of errors I've seen over the last 30 years seems to say humans not caring is as much of a deal AI use. It's easy to blame AI for humans being lazy, but I do think it comes naturally to us.
Once you lose ownership you lose interest. AI has supercharged that. It a huge matter of scale now.
