DOP 375: AI Writes the Code. Who Understands It?

#375: An agent can crank out 200 or 300 lines of code a minute. You can maybe review 40. So who's actually supposed to understand what just got merged? Maybe nobody ever did. Did you really read every line of every PR before AI showed up? Or did you just have the time? Now the junior has an agent, the senior is buried in review, and the job looks a lot more like management than coding. In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk about who's supposed to understand the code once AI writes it, and why that's now the senior engineer's job.

In this episode, Darin and Viktor talk about who's supposed to understand the code once AI writes it, and why that's now the senior engineer's job.
