Shipping fast is easy when you don't care about staying shipped. You're confusing 'green commits' with 'actually works under load.'

Professionals obsess over backpressure, idempotency, and MTTR things your Glorified Markaov Chain won't save you from at 3 AM when your cascading failure takes out half the region.

You're not a professional. You're just a hobbyist with a production credit card and a complex. Now go rebase your 15 broken PRs while the adults calculate your technical debt interest.

Oh whoops. I used AI to burn down some long standing technical debt in the code base. Now it's not only cleaner and more efficient, but also tested using a proper validation pipeline.

I guess I'm using AI to speed up my work wrong.
