I worked with a guy that 100% used AI to dev everything. didn't even check to see if it would work before submitting a MR.

It got to the point that I stopped reviewing them and just rejected them outright with a simple comment, "doesn't work".

eventually he was fired. the evidence? the four months of shitty MRs he opened. the best part was, when I said "doesn't work", I was never wrong. none of his changes worked.
