1,000 lines of debt that you didn't review and probably have no idea what they do.

Yeah, I don't get it. It's well know that "LOC" is not a good metric of developer productivity. But now that AI is writing those lines of code, it's fine as a metric?
Senior developers know that every line of code is debt. Junior developers think that every line of code is wealth.
I only commit code to production repos if I have fully reviewed it, manually tested it and could explain exactly how it works to someone else.
