Or C, agentic coders who have been doing this for 20+ years (software engineering) know what they're doing?
Also, when people say 'read the code' do they really mean go line by line, or review the pseudo code? Meaning, read the high level architecture/data flow.
Because IMO the code matters very little if you have the proper testing environment and guardrails, the architecture always matters.
In my circle, the only people who make these claims about AI were all terrible developers whose contributions were slowing down everyone because they needed to go through several reviews and rewrites before they could be accepted.
Now it's basically the same but they love it because it's only their teammates who have to put in the work not them.
This all implodes when the teammates get fed up and just approve everything.
