Fantastic post about the costs of "speeding up" dev with #AI
"...a lot of this AI-generated code? Nobody fully understands it. The person who "wrote" it didn't really write it. They prompted it, skimmed it, maybe ran it once. When it breaks in production at 2am, the person on-call didn't write it and the person who prompted it can't explain it...Your bottleneck is the org chart, and no amount of Copilot is going to refactor that."

@amber Ten years ago, we were talking about how people copy from Stack Overflow and paste into the codebase without understanding what's going on. In my opinion, it's the same situation.
