I try to review 100% of my dependencies. My criticism of the npm ecosystem is they say "I didn't review it, someone else wrote it" and everyone thinks that is an acceptable excuse.
Why would I want to take advice about keeping humans in the loop from someone who let an LLM write 90% of their blog post?

But here's the thing. The LLM house writing style isn't just annoying, it's become unreadable through repeated exposure. This really gets to the heart of why human minds are starting to slide off it.
These posts claiming that "we will review the output" etc., and that claim software engineers will still need to apply their expertise and wisdom to generated outputs, never seem to think this all the way through. Those who write such articles might indeed have enough experience and deep knowledge to evaluate AI outputs. What of subsequent generations of engineers? What about the forthcoming wave of people who may ne…

So that’s the baseline intellectual rigor we’re dealing with here.
