It’s not clear to me whether or not the author is reviewing the code their agent is committing on their behalf, so maybe I shouldn’t be surprised that they don’t seem to care whether or not their team is reviewing it either.

But I am surprised. The author says they used to spend quite a lot of time writing developer guides, hopefully by building consensus among their peers. It seems to me like a big shift if it’s now a workplace where they might not even read each other’s code changes.

Or maybe the dev guides were top-down directions on the way they want the team to do things, and now AI is super compliant and they’re living the dream.
