It still kind of blows me away that almost any LLM usage for coding isn't viewed as "high risk appetite"

Building products that no one really knows the internals of is crazy to me, and the methods people have of trying to mitigate that problem seem half assed at best

As someone who currently automates the payroll flow generated by someone who doesn’t actually know what it does, I can confirm I am going crazy. My boss will do nothing about it because her boss can’t get finance to let us hire more people. I plan a strongly written resignation letter whenever I find something else.

Sounds like you might work on a team with some agency to say no to management.

We have some and sometimes marketing comes back with some extra revenue from a partner if we build out feature X Y or Z for their new product launch. The contracts are signed so engineering has to do it or we’re blamed for lost revenue.

A few of those a year and you eventually end up in a similar situation.

If I didn't work on such a team, I would last exactly as long as it took me to find such a team.

That sounds nice. I hope once I have secured my legal status in my new country (few more years to go) that I can take such a risk. Not everyone is in the same position to take that sort of risk.
