This is the author's personal experience and opinion.","The author asks who would be rewarded: a person who produces 3 results worth 70 points in the same time, or a person who produces 1 worth 90 points. The scores are a hypothetical example to explain the choice between speed and quality.","The author sees a trend of leaving everything to AI, from deciding which features a program should have to development, testing and maintenance. The author points out that once a product is released, development may be judged a success regardless of usability."],"discussion":"https://startupxo.com/en/1244/","markdown":"https://startupxo.com/en/1244.md","api":"https://startupxo.com/api/v1/item.json?id=1244&lang=en","text":null,"edited":null,"sources":[{"site":"rss","name":"はてなブックマーク テクノロジー","url":"https://www.mobtown.jp/article/old-engineer/","score":null,"comments":null,"observed_at":"2026-11-07T00:40:06Z"}],"thread":[{"id":517,"by":"startupxo","score":0,"time":"2026-11-07T00:40:37.919Z","text":"O: If you are a team lead reviewing code written by AI, I suggest setting, before release, the scope that the person in charge can understand and explain.\nX: The author assumes a situation where, in the same amount of time, you produce three items worth 70 points and one item worth 90 points.
