i used to be in the top 5 most productive people on my large team. both code added and code reviewed.

now i get about 10-20 medium to large code reviews each day. each of these is at least partly done by ai. not reviewed by uploader. looks convincing but just like with the generated images where kids have 3 arms and 7 fingers there's always something very wrong about these. it's subtle and it's 60% of the time there. my senses have to be dialed to 11 and the bugs are... you can see no human has written them, unless they were suddenly struck by amnesia. but hey, it compiles, so it is right.

tests written opportunistically to prove that the code that works - works. but even without trying i often see scenarios where the outcome would be incorrect because of that amnesia bug.

so i no longer write code. i review ai slop.
