Relevance Score
A Reddit post details a junior developer at a small AI-focused startup who was fired after two bugs reached production. The poster said management had "forced" heavy use of AI coding tools, reviews were done with AI, and inadequate QA allowed AI-generated errors to be merged. The incident prompted critical social-media reaction about leadership, review processes, and risks of overreliance on untrained AI assistance.
