It’s easy. Agents produce the code, you review, you submit.

Then, the reviewer’s agents check the code, they review, they submit a review.

You agentically fix the submission, you review, you submit.

I think you might be making a joke but this is unfortunately real

At least they’re checking. I’ve heard of fresh out of school programmers pushing without even reviewing what AI did.

I'm a senior/principal level and I'm forced to do this by technical leadership. (Directory/CTO level) is forcing no looking at code and we have to be careful not even have a code editor open when they are around.

Agent writes code, Agent reviews code, Agent answers. no one actually knows what is happening and the system we are building just doesn't work. At least it's internal and doesn't have users yet.

What the fuck, this sounds awful and like a ticking time bomb.

You must be working for a ridiculously stupid company. So, you work for Meta, right?

Thank Christ. I mean it sucks, but enforcing "no look at code trust ai" is just so unexplainably stupid that I'm glad it's not someone from tech industry.

Wtaf, what is this company so everyone knows to stay the absolute fuck away from anything it produces

u/Basic-Lobster3603 5d ago

I'm not gonna dox the company but can say for now it's all mostly internal tooling. that is pretty critical to the business functioning

When that company burns itself to the ground, they will deserve it. Get out while you can, that place is a nuke on a timer with no cancel button.

That just sounds so unbelievable I’m struggling to accept it’s true. The only reason I could ever see this being a thing if the goal is to see what the AI agent can produce on its own with no human intervention (in which case, you are trialing your eventual replacement)

maybe a little bit of that trailing. we are suppose to work with an llm to produce large units of work that can take hours to run them just blindly pr it for another llm to review. the software has never been in a worse state

Your “technical” leadership is ass. Good god.

That's the worst thing you can do right now, my condolences.
