"the code review: if you can’t review code, you can’t direct AI tools. You cannot lead a team. You cannot even trust your own work."
I would revise that a bit
since we don't write code, we write intents - we shouldn't review code either, we should review intents.
I don't review my code anymore. I ask the agent to generate markdown docs, graphviz diagrams, changelogs, audit reports, etc.
I only review that.
I also ask it to write test and evaluate by whether the tests passed or not.
I don't need to peak into the tests code - I can also ask plain english, pseudocode, control flow graph, whatever it is I want.
I can ask it to find errors or missing tests and improve that too!
so yea - code is like assembly now. rare are the cases you need to peak into that level.
Let's abstract this further: It's about the user's existing power and intentions, meaning if I am already in a position of power, AI will multiply it to levels way beyond a peasant could. Power dynamics just get exacerbated.
I am using cursor on auto and I got the exact same experience.
installed quartz, used accessibility and screen recording api, all that.
initially it managed to do it on another desktop space somehow, opening safari in the background without me even noticing. but then it actually started using my own mouse while I was using it lol
similar thing happened to me.
I'm not a heavy aws user but wanted to setup some s3 buckets few days ago but my account was suspended for the same reason
but unlike OP I just accepted this fate and moved away from aws :)
