If you replace a junior with #LLM and make the senior review output, the reviewer is now scanning for rare but catastrophic errors scattered across a much larger output surface due to LLM "productivity."

I propose any productivity gains will be consumed by false negative review failures.

Friendly reminder:

NO ONE needs AI slop and more AI data centres

EVERYBODY needs clean water, affordable energy, and a habitable planet

I may regret this at some point, but I felt the need to put down in writing how I feel about this moment in the tech industry.

It is not kind. You may well be insulted by it. If you are... then you really should question yourself.
