I always find it a bit weird to see posts on the front page where all the comments disagree with the central premise of the article. In this case the post is an ad advocating for executing code you didn't write and handing the results to your manager.

It makes me wonder if Hacker News has a silent majority of people who would actually use AI in this way without wanting to admit it, and a vocal minority of people who wouldn't.

I'll admit that there are definitely times where I decide it's fine to roll with it blind. It's not often, not for critical paths, and definitely not where I don't have a good understanding of the blast radius if it fails spectacularly - but you'd be surprised how often it's easier and faster to fix it if it breaks than it would be to make sure it's not broken.
