    Personally I am okay with code being written by AI as long as it is properly being checked and tested. The CEO is a prime example of management becoming a security and safety risk, which all engineers know is very dangerous. It is the same story as what caused the Challenger disaster.

    I have a 2 year ProtonVPN Plus subscription so there is not really a point in canceling it right now, but if this situation doesn’t change by the end of those 2 years I’m inclined to not renew it.

    That CEO needs to step down, not just for their reputation but for the safety of their software.

      Your first sentence is basically impossible. When reviewing code, your insight is always inferior to the person who wrote it. Often my code reviews consist of questioning the programmer on why they’ve done what they have, because I need their perspective as well.

      You can’t do that with an LLM because it doesn’t really know why it did things.

      And testing properly…? Nobody does that. LLM or human.

        I disagree with this. Just reviewing the code is exactly what I mean by “properly being checked and tested”.

        There are people/companies that just vibe code the hell out of their stuff without any review whatsoever. That’s not something I want to touch.
