Well, no matter how thoroughly you vet, it’s always good to have a tool to back you up.

For example, we once got a pull request, which was purely AI-generated but I couldn’t tell that right away. So, I skimmed it to make sure no malicious code is part of it, then I gave it to the CI runner. And that failed pretty much immediately during a compile check, which made it obvious that the pull request author had never tried to compile it.

In that moment, I could stop wasting my time with that pull request, rather than try to debug why it’s not working or having to vet it more thoroughly…
