> the most important duty of the submitter is to vouch for it

When shipping pressure comes, I’ve seen this to be the first thing to go. Despite formalizing ownership standards, etc… people on both the submitting and reviewing end just give up understanding Ai slop when management says they need to hit a deadline.

Probably no company would actually do this, but I wonder if we should actually actively test the submitter’s understanding of the code submitted somehow as a prerequisite to moving a PR to ready for review. I’m not sure if it will be actually hopeful, enforcing people to understand the code, but maybe at least we’ll put the cultural expectation upfront and center?
