Anti-patterns: things to avoid

If you open a PR with hundreds (or thousands) of lines of code that an agent produced for you, and you haven’t done the work to ensure that code is functional yourself, you are delegating the actual work to other people.

I agree – it’s rude to hand off AI-generated code (or writing, or business proposals, etc.) to your coworkers without doing the real, difficult work of verifying and understanding it first. I trust my coworkers a lot more than I trust an LLM.

I can imagine a future where this is no longer the norm, if there’s a collective agreement on the team that AI-generated code is consistently good enough, a Level 4 world where we are all PMs. Of course, there might be unintended consequences to outsourcing your entire team’s understanding of your codebase, who could say?
