    How the fuck does a tech company as big as Amazon have this running in production and not a test/staging environment? This is the kind of mistake a platform run by one person makes and even then they probably won’t make it again.

    Huh, something tells me that working in FAANG doesn’t actually make you a better engineer, they just have more money to not throw at R&D which somehow makes you feel superior to every other engineer 🤔

      They do, but they have another AI agent in charge of reviewing and submitting the code for production.

    • The problem isn’t necessarily the workers, the problem is management. It’s an extension of class warfare. Copying an old comment of mine

      I left one of the big tech companies this year. AI perverted absolutely everything. The only thing worse than vibe code is having to maintain someone else’s vibe code on a codebase you spent the last 7 years nursing. Vibe code is absolute trash, but it’s management’s shiny new toy so they make it everyone’s problem.

      Expectations changed because of it. A project that would normally take 3 months to plan and implement was expected in a week, quality be damned. We racked up over 500 bugs in a year for a different unreleased application. I would get deadlines in the middle of my vacation days.

      And I haven’t even gotten to the moral and humanitarian issues
