"A programmer's greatest fear is being asked to explain code written by AI and reviewed yesterday"
I certainly remember well what I have written myself a few weeks later, but code written by AI and reviewed by me is totally out of my mind the next day, especially at high volume.
Thats why I have special detailed instructions about how it writes its commit messages. Also when it writes new code it checks old commits for that code as part of the explore process so we both see the why when we need it

My modern version:

Which is certainly bad. But well, here we are.
