Same thing I'm seeing, all the "AI practitioners" at my company with their advanced workflows are just shipping mountains of slop, and end up either putting the actual work on the reviewers, or the poor soul that's on call when an incident occurs.

I feel like people that have built crazy AI workflows have developed a false sense of confidence that their guardrails are helping them ship clean/correct code with little review when it isn't the case at all. In reality, the models and harnesses are at a point where there's very little difference as long as your prompts are somewhat reasonable, and the quality of the code ultimately comes down to the level of care and effort the implementor puts into it.

I don't think the first people that are going to be replaced by AI are going to be the people who don't use it extensively. The first that will be replaced are going to be those that are using AI mindlessly, because at that point, what are you besides a very expensive human LLM interface? To be clear, I'm not "anti-AI", I use AI quite extensively (in a way that's similar to what's described in the article), I just think that it's being pushed in a completely unsustainable way and the industry is in a collective psychosis over it's capabilities.
