...in which Amazon tell us that outages were caused by unreviewed AI code...

oh yeah somebody said something about there being no doubt about productivity gains because 'they see them everyday'?

Well ok I'll accept your still anecdotal evidence but I would like to debit hours from those x1 engineers productivity gains and raise a credit for hours lost by every person affected by these outages. #AI

@nf3xn now let's do a little anticipation and reason on basis of the reverse centaur hypothesis.
What happens when senior engineers inevitably miss things and signoff on a change which triggers an outage. They will ultimately get fired. So there will be less and less senior engineers to sign off on changes increasing the review burden and thus the risk of mistakes slipping through until there are no senior engineers left or willing to signoff on anything
In both cases delivery will stop
