I will also say though, even before AI, the tech companies I worked for were dropping QA teams (2012~2018, one company eventually built a QA team though)

I'm an engineer using Cursor regularly cause I'm basically forced to, trust me, I know lmao. I argue with it regularly for doing things I never asked. And now we have AI code reviews in place. I worry the human-side of things is getting minimized and that's what will really cause the issues.

People suck lmao

No where did I say that? I said I think in the FUTURE we will see outages caused by such. thanks for reading!

As a programmer I'm perfectly aware of human written code having the potential to be just as bad (but let's not act like it always deploys without issue), my concern is pretty much what you said, the growing lack of checks before this stuff goes into production and human coders getting more lax
November 19, 2025 at 2:58 PM
Then what is?

And don't say humans not double-checking and testing the AI written code cause that's still the same root that I'm talking about

Bruh where did I say humans are flawless lmao. Why y'all putting words in my mouth

Knowing how other engineers and myself are working these days, with AI assisted IDEs, I'm going to go ahead and assume yes Cloudflare has some AI written code in their codebase.

Did that cause yesterday's outage?
Idk.
Do I think it AI code will probably cause major problems in the future?
Yes.

I'd like to blame a gif I saw as a preteen on the early internet of a bald man pulling his head out of a hoohah and some reason I think of it every time I see Corgan
