I'm sorry, you might be right. But this simply doesn't reflect my daily reality. All I can say is, nobody in my org is creating 10,000 PRs. But everyone is using Claude Code for virtually all commits. We've been doing it since about Opus 4.5ish. So far, so good.

Generally we've modified our timelines heavily, systems are working as intended, company is still making money. There are some AI-authored commits that had mistakes that we didn't catch, but I'm sure this could've been an issue even if all were human-authored. I know first-hand multiple other companies who are doing exactly the same thing.

I agree with "slow is smooth, and smooth is fast" for mission critical systems. But super majority of systems are, indeed, not mission critical.

I have the same experience. Slow is smooth with AI is still productivity improvement.
