What PR comments reveal about devs who never read their own AI code

A popular Reddit thread asks how to spot developers who never read the AI-generated code they submit. Telltale signs: replying "good catch, fixed" to all 9 CodeRabbit comments while fixing only 2; a PR description claiming a "refactor for clarity" while the diff silently changes token expiry from 24 hours to 30 days; and dead code the agent wrote that nobody noticed. The thread collects review signals distinguishing careful AI-assisted developers from careless ones.
