Charlie Marsh, the creator of Ruff, noted that with the proliferation of AI coding tools, the frequency and thoroughness of his code reading have noticeably declined compared to six months ago. For low-risk, one-off, or personal projects, he has largely stopped reviewing generated code altogether, considering this an acceptable practice. This reflects a frontline engineer's firsthand experience of the evolving AI collaboration workflow.
