Good catch on CTOs part. That scenario is one that keeps me awake at night -- that some large PR of mine has come functionality or feature that I didn't ask for and didn't notice.

How did the CTO respond to "Claude did it and I didn't catch it"? Did the AI PR summary mention it? Or did the CTO just read the code?

I am fighting against people doing this every day, and we've made it extremely clear that your computer and processes running on it are an extension of you, a human, who is responsible for the actions on your computer.

CTO responded well to it - frankly because we're all using some coding agent and it's just the natural process of code review for them to sniff things out. No mention of it in any PR summary - CTO found it in the migration that would mutate the User record to accept `null` email.
