    Sadly I can’t give any specific technical details without potentially doxxing myself to my employer, but I’ve reviewed 5 or 6 AI-generated PRs in the last year that have contained some pretty severe bugs — the kind of stuff that would have caused serious service outages and security breaches if allowed to go to production.

    Those 5 or 6 were among dozens of PRs, and the amount of code I’m being asked to review is only increasing. Even being diligent, I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before something nasty slips by me, especially now that the process of reviewing code has become so fucking exhausting.
