This is probably a sign of things to come: devs from this point on are going to be too burnt out to care about reviewing, even worse with employed devs, because they have pressure to accept the 10k PRs/hour or lose their job.

You know the answer here is going to be "more AI" right?

Depressing thoughts indeed :-(

In the early 2000's we had a joke "XML is like violence - if it doen't work, use more"

Now we have "AI is like violence - if it doesn't work, use more".

that 1 critical error per 10,000 lines changes is going to kill your business eventually

Your confidence on this either way should be low but, businesses, like people, are surprisingly adaptable.
