@ai6yr asking someone to explain their pull request will increasingly become the honus on the tech lead to call people out on submitting code they didn't take the time to understand.
It will be even more important to call out implementations that are too inconsistent with existing patterns in the code base.
This is the new meta leads will have to deal with.

In response to this post@ai6yr and tbh many leads are not equipped (aka they were promoted too early)
@grumpasaurus @ai6yr Yeah, the limiting factor on many teams (like mine) is the capacity for the tech lead (me) to review and understand what is happening in all the pull requests. Magically generating a higher volume of code to add to that stack does not solve one damn thing.
The sad thing is that candidate will probably successfully get a job with a company who thinks that the role of a programmer is to now to ask the computer to do things like Sigourney Weaver in Galaxy Quest

@ai6yr "why did you use this AI implementation"
"Why did you choose this library?"
- it was the first thing I tried and as far as I know it works.
This isn't a particularly new problem.
