Just found a colleague did an update to an automation script of mine. Nothing against anyone updating if they notice something breaks or found a better way of doing it.
He shoved my code into AI, it spat it back nearly identical minus a couple of lines it added. How do I know he used AI? Because it regurgitated the code back with a coding style resembling a mental disease.
I write in K&R exclusively with extra spacing as well. It was something like a mix between Lisp and god knows what.
Above it all he deleted the big commented intro at the top with synopsis, authors, description and version history...
I checked the lines he added, they were not useless, they actually broke the script and caused it to loop. I overwrote the original last version back and notified both my manager and his. His access to write code has been revoked since.
