Machines cannot take responsibility for problems, which is why I feel containment barriers cannot be entirely AI. AI reviews are fine (and catch a lot of wild issues humans miss) if a human genuinely reviews it too
I’ve lost count of how many snippets I’ve reviewed that were verbatim pasted from stack overflow pre-AI lol
My view is that humans produce a lot of garbage, and AI tooling currently amplifies your productivity. If you’re careless, don’t take pride and normally commit tech debt then with AI tooling that’s going to be amplified 10-100x. The more careless you are the faster you can commit more garbage - especially if you’re skipping on unit/integration/functional testing

That’s a career-limiting move where I work. I draw a hard line on that. You don’t get many chances to blow up prod because you left out mandatory process steps. You might not get sacked the first time (though you should), but it if happens again, you’d better be contemplating your future life as a barista, or pounding farts out of shirt-tails in a steam laundry.

Where I work AI is being pushed hard, but the company has made it their policy that there must be a human in the loop. Ownership of the code written by AI is down to the person using the AI. “Oops, don’t know why the AI wrote that!” Is not a valid answer to bugs being introduced into production.
I’m seeing senior engineers of 15+ years no longer writing code and churning out a ton more work. They are disappointed they don’t write code anymore but working with the AI is the job they have to do to be able to afford to live. They say the cognitive load has shot up for them, they are constantly spinning plates.
To make the plate spinning job easier they have implemented guard rails to ensure the agents don’t do anything stupid. I’m seeing a number of stories posted to Lemmy where the AI does dumb shit but the stories don’t apply any accountability to the developers using it.

Hahaha either we work at the same place or it’s identical across the industry
