I work in big-tech and we’re only allowed to use our companies internal tools that mimic Claude Code etc. There is certainly a push to use it, and I’ve noticed a significant increase in bugs that have come along. There are so many PRs now that no one reviews them and just slaps a LGTM. Specifically with junior or less strong engineers. It’s like they don’t code anymore and push everything on the AI and say ship it without a second thought. I’ve watched engineers push AI code with a nasty NPE and then they also had it write unit tests where the AI caught the NPE and passed the test. Literally if anyone spent the time reading the code you’d see it was a ticking bomb. We went from production breakages every couple of months to every couple of days.
It’s so bad but no one is saying the hard thing that less strong engineers need to be restricted on their use of these tools.
