Forget 10x Developer – Become Full X Developer

code is like assembly now.

in the olden days (pre-LLMs) we would write high-level code.

the entire layer was high-level code and rarely would we ever need to peak into the assembly:

writing, debugging, architecting, reviewing, testing - all were done in the high-level language layer.

---

welcome to present day:

since we don't write code - we write intents, we also 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!

code is like assembly now.

rare are the cases you would need to peak into that level.

"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

so yea - code is like assembly now. rare are the cases you need to peak into that level.

even if the most powerful ai is open source and let's even assume runs on consumer hardware - in the end data is the real moat.

if it can access private data it will necessarily have more power.

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 :)

"The correct answer: not currently vulnerable, but the code is fragile and one refactor away from being exploitable."

absolutely. I see this pattern all the time when doing security audits - code that is nearly-vulnerable. I would mark these things as informational and recommend to harden them anyway, and any model would do a good job to do the same.
