LLM-generated (or at least LLM-assisted), but a human's still the one submitting the PR for review.

A PR with a minimal title and empty description should be refused at submission. If the human is so disinterested that they're using LLM generated code and then can't explain the purpose, that human should be prevent from making the PR. Working as a solo dev, it is very easy to be lazy like that, and I'm as guilty as anyone. Working in teams with actual reviews should absolutely have much more strict policies of what is considered a valid PR

Where I work, the LLM writes the ticket and does all the coding. As soon as the LLM feels like it's done, it automatically submits and reviews the PR itself. The humans blindly click "approve" without reading the PR. And when the required number of humans have blindly clicked approve, a human blindly presses another button that merges the code. All the text in the ticket, the code, the PR and review is far too voluminous and verbose to easily read, so nobody does. These humans didn't start out as vibe coders, they used to be engineers.

How do you think this will work out for us?
