Aren't you effectively saying that no one will understand the code they're actually deploying? That's always true to an extent, but at least today you mostly understand the code in your sub area. If we're saying the future is AI + careful review, how am I going to have enough context to even do that review?

I expect that in most cases you'll review "hot spots" that AI itself identifies while trusting AI review for the majority of code. When you need to go deeper, I expect you'll have to essentially learn the code to fix it, in roughly the same way people will occasionally need to look at the compiler output to hunt down bugs.

Human trust has to be earned, why should AI trust be any different? If I’m supposed to yolo-approve any random code a machine spits out, it had better prove to me it’s nearly flawless, otherwise I’m applying the same review regiment I apply to any other code. To do otherwise is to shame the word “engineering” and the field thereof.
