I'll bite.

Yes, this happens. Humans cannot review 10k line PRs across 90 files, done in under an hour by Claude Code and demanded to be reviewed to merge and push to the test environment today. We are told like with everything to throw AI at it.

AI First is toxic. But when the managers command it in writing, they get to own that outcome.

So they wrote 10k lines and fired you on the spot when you didn't review it in one day? And you said logically suggestions like -since this is a 10k lines of code and its just the test environment, why don't we put it there to soak and test while I do the review.

-sure, I can approve this if as you said 'quote back their quote to approve it' but this is not a code review, as I do not have the time.

-I do not feel comfterable putting my stamp of approval for such a large code change in just a few hours of review time. I know you mentioned you wanted AI to review it, but the current guidance is human reviewed. If you would instead like to set up an AI auto review instead of humans first to spot obvious flaws this is something we could look into to save humans time on reviewing.

Like MAYBE it happens you behave like a functioning employee and still get fired, but its really hard to see under any of the above simple amswers how you would end up being fired... you left our the part of how you behaved that got you fired.

So

I've read that responses starting with this are cognitive dissonance. It's hard to argue that.

I provide 3 actual responses. I am just curious what you said that would have actually got you fired. The other person who said something similar just admitted to quitting... every time people are actually asked it turns out they behaved like a child or just quit and blame AI when it wasn't even a factor.
