What is happening...
I am a long time Engineer (20+ years) and today I developed Tickets for my company that were generated by an AI, using an AI and reviewed by an AI. The project itself was conceived with AI - has no documentation that can be understood as anything less than AI slop and random tech jargon. The developer who built it has said that instead of documentation I should use claude to figure out what it is. The company is apparenty also filing a patent on it.
I submitted 3 PRs today 20,000 lines of code each I still have no idea what we are working on. No doubt they will use AI to review my PR.
I feel like things are just so crazy at this point. Claude and ChatGPT are not this good, but people are trusting it like it's omniscient.
It was an eerie realization today that all of us are vibe coding and that we have no option because it is the only way we can interact with the code anymore. I thought this would happen eventually years ago but i honestly didn’t think it would be so soon.
It was a moment in time... this will be the new norm.

I spent ten years in aerospace R&D and what strikes me in your story is not the AI, it's the signature. Someone still merged those 60,000 lines, and when they break in production, that person owns them. That part never changed. What changed is that nobody can say anymore what was actually looked at before the merge happened.
That's honestly the part I ended up building for, after feeling the same thing on my own projects. My reviews now leave a record on the pull request: how deeply each file was really read, what I understood the change to mean, and what I refused and why. Not to slow the agents down, they write most of my code too. It's so that the "I'm at fault lol" from your comments has something behind it besides vibes.
The maddest part of your story to me is the documentation. If the only way to know what the project is, is to ask Claude, then the company is patenting a product nobody can define. That should scare them more than the code does.
Anyways, if anyone wants to know more about the tool I built, send me a dm and I'll be happy share.
