AI makes code cheap to produce and expensive to trust. When polish no longer implies understanding, verification becomes the only reliable signal.

    I had a co-worker who wrapped every function generated by AI with try/except (discarding the error).

    The unit tests passed flawlessly!!! They also didn’t test anything at all

    I was livid. My boss was an idiot and I tried to explain the issue, but I got in trouble because I took too long to fix it. 1000 of lines of mangled shit.

    I just found a new job (got more pay too)
