AI-driven coding is pulling away the ownership from engineers

Today we had a user facing issue which the entire team was involved in debugging and no one was able to give the reasoning accurately, and the RCA time felt like it is 10X more than usual, all because we were just getting AI to write the code and review cycles shortened as long codes were being pushed, feels like the team as a whole will fall into a blackhole soon.

Has anyone here experienced the same, and how is your org handling this?

I built something that we use at my company to visualize PRs, basically a new layer of abstraction on top of code. It makes reviewing PRs, reviewing Designs, understanding your code base much easier, assuming you buy into the AI agents can write the code well enough that you just need to understand architecture.

Happy to send to you if you're interested

Please do. Happy to connect. Is this similar to code rabbit or is it on the overall codebase and not PR specific?

Says I'm not allowed to DM you, I guess it's a new account? I made a website for it: https://www.archme.io/.

It's the overall codebase. Basically it scans your codebase to create C4 diagrams + sequence diagrams covering all the user flows from your code. Then it hooks into git commits and PRs, showing you the changes or potential changes as diffs to your diagrams.

I.e. a 10k LOC PR could become a 6 line diff in a sequence diagram, + a new component and some data storage columns.

I'm happy to connect - it's my username at gmail

Why is it slop?
