After several outages due to junior engineers pushing AI-generated code, Amazon is requiring senior engineers to sign off on them going forward.
History has taught us bugs scale linearly with lines of code. So if you ship 2x or 10x the amount of code, you will have that much of an increase in bugs.
The reality is that increasing coding velocity without also increasing your ability to review and test the code at that scale is a recipe for disaster.
