yeah I think we actually agree on the volume part, I'm not disputing that. my point is more about which group causes the bugs that make it to production. the garbage PRs from the illiterate crowd - those get caught. someone submits a PR where the error handling is clearly copy pasted from a chatbot and the variable names are arg1 arg2, that's an easy reject. but when your senior engineer submits something that looks clean because they prompted well and skimmed the output, that sails through review. I've literally seen a race condition introduced this way that sat in prod for weeks because the PR looked like something that person would write. so yeah the volume problem is real but I think it's a distraction from the harder problem
