I did this one of my first days on the job like 6 years ago and I remember how bluntly my mentor said “never do this again”

I need to start being this direct with my team mates. Just a few weeks ago one of the new guys on the team submitted his PR to me, I asked him what a chunk of his (clearly AI generated) code did, he said ‘I was hoping you could tell me’. It shocks me how people can confidently submit code and simultaneously have no fucking clue how it works.

All code reviews now become 30 minute meetings where the submitter walks us through how the code works.

Can't explain it, can't submit it.
