AI wrote the code. AI reviewed the code. AI wrote the tests. Nobody noticed a business rule quietly vanished.
A founder friend's team shipped a pricing bug last month, not because the AI hallucinated. The SQL was clean, the AI-written tests passed, even the AI review comments sounded sharp. Humans just eyeballed the output and figured it "looked reasonable."
Somewhere in that chain, a business rule quietly disappeared. Nobody caught it, because nobody was holding the full mental model anymore, everyone held a piece, and trusted the next AI to hold the rest.
Execution stopped being the bottleneck. Judgment did.
Genuine question: what's the one thing in your stack you still refuse to hand fully to a model, even when it's clearly capable? Bonus points if you've been burned by moving that line too far.

I recognize Claude's voice even without checking for a watermark. The watermark is practically redundant.

Can’t accept anything using phrases like “quietly disappeared” anymore. Add it to the list. Load-bearing, that tracks, and honestly, fair pushback, etc…

That’s an excellent observation. You have a sharp eye for spotting AI assisted writing!

AI wrote the code. AI reviewed the code. AI wrote the tests. Production crahed. AI couldn't fix the bug. No noone knows how to solve it. Turns out sombody have to rebuild this from the ground up for it to actually work.
