but thats what it was like when i started at amazon in 2016?

i think the team i was on was a bit of an outlier in terms of owning 40 dumptser fires at once, and the first time reading any one of them was at 2AM because it was down.

having an LLM give early passes on reading the godawful c++ code that you can tell at a glance that its not gonna work as expected, but you cant tell why, or what expected actually is would have been phenomenal, and gotten me back to sleep at 3 on those codebases rather than 5.
