Who has reviewed MULTIPLE 2000+ lines PRs in the last 24 hours ? It’s not a unusual to many software engineers today. In the past, I would have blocked it. But if I block it now, I’m not “embracing AI.” Maybe I’m NOT “embracing AI”. That’s a bold statement for engineers who want to keep their job. Well. Not in the way how quickly AI is able to puke code today.

We’ve all seen the meme — “check out my app at localhost:1234” Me and many of my fellow engineer friends find it funny. Every other week someone sends me a huge pile of generated code and tells me they made an app. It’s like the WebMD moment — when your friends asks you to fix their printers because you’re “in tech.”

Once upon a time, to build a website, you had to buy a computer. One day, someone had the brilliant idea to buy many computers that nerdy people like myself could pay to use — we called them servers.

Today, everyone can host a website with a few clicks or sentences. Sound familiar?
