    Keep vibe coding and breaking everything.

    This will be the new normal as all human “engineers” from staff to seniors are now down levelled to interns and junior engineers when using AI; unable to understand what they are doing and pushing broken updates like this into production with “agents”.

    Better not blame Claude on this outage.

      No matter who writes the code, the name in the commit is responsible as well as the person who approved / reviewed the PR.

        No matter how many times this is said, the reality is that it is not true: no one will get blamed if the AI can be blamed.

          Wrong. They will be totally blamed. And the pushback will be that management forced me to use AI and go fast. Then, management will be the one NOT being blamed for this.
