As an EM I don't get this. You are the sole responsible for quality. You are the sole responsible for what tools use. AI is voluntary to use. If AI produces code that no one knows and is hard to maintain, don't use AI in that way. If you can't make that decision, are you really the EM?

Sure, but now competitors are shipping like crazy (at their EM's sanity expense?). What to do?

> AI is voluntary

Until the company mandate. And also there 10 other EMs that I am competing with on my org tree alone, and their teams are all AI-heavy. Is that really a matter of choice?

I don't understand he comment.

AI produces code that people can understand and is easy to maintain if you ask it for that.
