Jr's are so dangerous with Ai. We have to basically throw away a large part of a project because a Jr that now quit, made it with Ai and nobody can figure out how to extend or maintain it. I showed my boss how it had 5 layers of abstraction in multiple places and he agreed we needed to trash that code.
Worst part is that it was a principal.
I am super curious about how someone pushed a commit without testing or validation, and that person is a Principal.
I don't even know. Our unit tests are garbage, but they also rewrote the unit tests for the new code. Just didn't actually check.
I approved this PR. I am culpable as well for not doing my due diligence
