Who needs human review, the AI can do that? Who needs human coding, the AI can do that? Who needs human testing, the AI can do that? Who needs human requirements engineering, the AI can do that.

80% uptime. How did this happen?

Yeah, I thought the blog post was gonna be about horror stories, because even the greatest senior/architect/whatever will push absolute garbage into your codebase, if they don't have the time to familiarize themselves with how the code actually works.

Even if it's some isolated component, if they implement it without explaining the what and why to others, then no one else can maintain or debug that. And you do not want to rely on your super important guy to have the time to fix things when production grinds to a halt.

I don't mind writing code and having copilot review it. I can tell a clanker to fuck off in satisfying ways that I couldn't with a junior dev.

...and there's the one time in 10 when it sees something and I can make a minor improvement.

Still, the "Oh crap, my code actually is broken" monents are few and far between.

Could you qualify what you mean by "idiots"? The author and the examples he gives - Kent Beck, David Heinemeier Hansson, and Garry Tan - are all very experienced software engineers.
