I saw somewhere that you guys had All Hands where juniors were prohibited from pushing AI-assisted code due to some reliability thing going on? Was that just a hoax?

Not a hoax, saw it in the news. I'm not at Amazon but can confirm massive productivity gains. The issue is reviewing code. With output similar to a firehose of PR's we need to be more careful and mindful with PR's. Don't vibe code a massive PR and slap it on your coworkers and expect a review. The same PR etiquette exist today as it did years ago.
