This does happen a lot, but have you ever had the opposite happen? Where you go into some of your older code, and not only is it nice to read, but you had anticipated that you’d have to make this change later, and so the design makes the change easy?
That’s happened to me a few times and all I can say is that it takes days for my self-satisfaction to wane.
When they say they unmasked the criminal…
That’s TeX, not LaTeX.
Don Knuth (who originally wrote TeX) had a real obsession with perfection. He even thought he could pay exponentially increasing awards to people who found errors in his books.
He eventually stopped doing that because he wasn’t as perfect as he thought he was. Still way off the charts compared to the average person, though.
It’s a bit of a change of mindset to begin thinking that you can’t trust a PR even a little.
It has never occurred to me that other people trust PRs, even a little. I mean, that they might think about it in those terms.
This explains a lot to me.
Why does it take me longer to review code than other people? They trust the person who wrote it, but I don’t.
Why is it that when my coworkers think a person is untrustworthy, that they always end up begging me to do all of that person’s reviews. It’s because I’m not bothered by that. I already treat everybody as untrustworthy.
I’ve never understood how other people think when they do reviews, I guess.
Forgetting AI for a moment, I am always shocked when I am reviewing a coworker’s code and it’s obvious that they themselves didn’t review it.
Like, they sent me a PR that has a whole shitload of other crap in it. Why should I look at it when you haven’t looked at it? If you don’t review your own review requests, you’re a failure of a programmer human.
And I would be a failure if I approved such a request.
Getting back to the post, where is all of the review? The coworker should have reviewed the AI shit, whether it was code or documentation. The person who approved the PR should have reviewed it, as well.
Every business with more than one programmer should have at least two levels of safeguards against this exact thing happening. More if you include different types of test suites.
This post describes a fundamentally broken business, regardless of the AI angle, and so it’s good if everything is broken. With such a lack of discipline and principles, I say let the business fail.

One of the things I’m really enjoying about this series is how, even though you’re constantly aware of her blindness and his being invisible, most of the actual plot points have little to do with that. They basically have the same things to overcome as anybody else.
I don’t have such an accurate memory that I remember what happened in Ep 1 vs. Ep 2, but it feels like there’s been character development and necessary exposition. And while the main plot hasn’t moved far forward, there’s certainly some plot development, like that girl’s dad getting back for her birthday.
As for character development, I was surprised Xylo agreed to Teoritta’s demand to let her fight and to simply protect her like that, even though I suspect he was just going along with her mid-fight. And obviously, there’s been some advancement in other characters, like Norgalle, Tatsuya, and I would argue even the general character of the Demon Lords will likely be important information going forward.
Reminds me of how Duchamp’s Fountain was attacked.
If I had an AI art exhibition, I would definitely arrange for someone to come destroy it like this, as there is very little point to having an AI art exhibition otherwise.
During Trump’s first term, I identified this as the number one most annoying thing about Trump. That you don’t want the world’s biggest attention whore as president.
And the only good thing about Trump was that he didn’t actually do the job. He just watched TV and called into Fox News and took extended golfing holidays.
I still cannot comprehend how people seemed to forget this during Biden’s term, when you could actually go a week or more without hearing about the president.
