> YOLO generated code straight into prod

Most of my team's time is spend carefully reviewing PRs and iterating on improving new ways we can ensure the product works well, the product is hardly "YOLO'd"

All of these products come at the request of customers and they are generally quite delighted with the results and equally delighted with how fast we can deliver.

> For all of AI being touted as the best thing since sliced bread

I don't think it's the best thing since sliced bread, but I am telling you that your understanding is weirdly out of touch. I know HN doesn't have people working startups anymore but what I'm experiencing at work is a lot of serious engineering work and discussion around delivering quality products rapidly (as well as improving process so we can get ahead of transformations in what a 'product' is).

It sounds like you have a view of the world and want to stick to it, in which case there's not much point in arguing. If you search my comment history you can easily find around 8 months ago I would have largely agreed with you, which is why I opened mentioned that your view is "outdated". This space has changed dramatically in the last year, and continues to change in ways that surprise me.
