We've always considered "reviewing and signing off code changes" as the work of experienced, senior, developers.
When using LLMs 100% of the job is reviewing and signing off changes.
We've certainly not suddenly have a huge surplus of experienced, senior, developers reviewing code now.
It seems to me that this can only mean that software is getting worse, as less code is being reviewed.
It seems that the Amazon thing agrees with what I've been saying...
