One year later:
“But I’m not reviewing that code. And now I’ve got that feeling of guilt: if I haven’t reviewed the code, is it really responsible for me to use this in production?”
Techbros know people are lazy, so if their slopspawn machines work good enough, often enough, people will forgive the times it flies off the fucking rails and breaks everything. They know people will roll the dice and think “That won’t happen to me, this time. And, if it does, it’s still worth the ‘productivity gains’ I’ve already gotten.”
