Did anyone check the code changes manually? What if it is just slop code?

Did anyone check the code changes manually? What if it is just slop code?
- brainwad 2mo agoI don't know about Chromium specifically, but in general Google requires 2 humans to have looked at every change (normally one is the author, but not necessarily for bot-authored changes).
- Orphis 2mo agoThey did roll this policy for Chromium changes a few years ago too. And it wasn't just 2 humans but 2 Googlers. One Googler author and one Googler reviewer works. But an external author needed 2 Googlers to review changes, and all files needed to be reviewed by one author at least. So if you touched multiple files owned by different people for a more complex feature, you would naturally get there.
- Cthulhu_ 2mo agoDid you go and look at their open source repositories and open code review tools instead of fearmongering on HN? The answer can be found.
- surajrmal 2mo agoGoogle has not really embraced vibe coded slop. Humans are involved before any code merges and the quality bar remains high.
