> At least opening PRs is a safe option, you can just dump the whole thing if it doesn't turn out to be useful.

There's however a border zone which is "worse than failure": when it looks good enough that the PRs can be accepted, but contain subtle issues which will bite you later.

Yep. I've been on teams that have good code review culture and carefully review things so they'd be able to catch subtle issues. But I've also been on teams where reviews are basically "tests pass, approved" with no other examination. Those teams are 100% going to let garbage changes in.

Even when you review human-written code carefully, subtle bugs can sneak through. Software development is hard.

Of course. AI Agents throwing code at you merely makes it more likely.

Funny enough, this happens literally every day with millions of developers. There will be thousands upon thousands of incidents in the next hour because a PR looked good, but contained a subtle issue.
