    My concern is that due to the amount of code that these tools can generate, a codebase will rapidly turn into mud in the hands of unskilled people. So, either you build an extensive code review process or only hire people who were working programmers before 2021 and augment them with AI assistants. Unfortunately, the latter kills off the role in a generation while the former kills off the business in the current generation. It’s lose/lose.
