You're not looking at the code?

I'd even go so far at to say that if you're not writing the code yourself, you probably need to look at it even more than previously.

Even before AI most of us read way more code than we wrote, that should still hold true.

You're ignoring that AI coding attracts a whole new crop of people who would never have touched computers before. We live in interesting times.
That's fair, but I wouldn't think those users would be using vim either (probably vscode)
Codex has /diff to review the code, or you can look when it’s a Pull Request
Codex can also delete all your files if you ask it to.

Just because it can do it, doesn't mean that it's a good idea.

Crazy to me that people are producing code they don't read, expect another human to review it or just let ai take the wheel and review. Then yeet it out the window into prod.

Why are we not ok with this for our cars, but we are ok with this for our software(banking, health care, etc.). Doesn't make any sense to me.
