- Praise: AI-assisted code generation can significantly speed up feature submission, allowing engineers to focus on higher-level tasks instead of repetitive coding.
- Concern: Mandatory senior review of AI-generated code creates a bottleneck, undermining the speed and efficiency that AI is supposed to provide.
- Concern: The requirement for senior sign-off on AI-assisted code may hinder junior engineers' learning opportunities and overall productivity.
- Concern: The perception that thorough reviews of AI-generated code indicate poor quality could demotivate engineers and lead to a toxic work environment.
