Wonder what they say about the code. Or do they bite their tongues and make it work?

> “Rather than disturbing my poor engineers and product people with what is half good ideas and half bad ideas, now I test it myself. I come say, ‘Look, I’ve actually made this work, this is how it works, what do you think, could we do it this way?’” he said.

		He says it takes him an 20 minutes, then he disturbs his engineers… I don’t think h is saving anyone anytime.

		If "this is how it works" is about testing the functionality or user experience of a proposed feature idea with a prototype, this is actually a good thing. If it's about "see, you can implement this feature I want and it only takes 20 minutes" that's a very different conversation.

		This would be my personal hell, let me just read n files of AI slop from the CEO.

Review implies the requested changes are made by the requestor, not the reviewer. Maybe article meant refactor, rewrite, or otherwise revise.

An AI board would certainly fire a CEO of a $20 billion company who wastes their time doing little tweaking like that. I mean even if there'd be a perfect AI that does something beyond slop consistently, this would still be a waste of time for a CEO.

At least if this is true at all, which should be perhaps doubted a little bit.
