Wow this is all so true and well put.
Some colleagues are showing off 20k+ line change commits with no review. Whilst I’m at most doing 100 lines, usually 10 or less. I am reading each change. Every plan is read thoroughly with multiple iterations. If I don’t understand a part, I ask the AI to explain. It is surprisingly good at explaining the work. However I do find mistakes. I have it commit after every change after the tests work and I’d say a third of the commits are prefixed as "fix: ". I’m still on the fence about the whole thing but it feels good and weird and phoney at the same time.
