Local Man Ships to Production Without Reading a Single Line AI Wrote, Calls It "Trusting the Process"

Local software developer Dean Wozniak has successfully deployed an entire e-commerce checkout flow to production without reading, understanding, or in any way engaging with the code that built it, in what he is calling “a bold new era of software delivery.”

“I asked it to build a payment system, it built a payment system, and I clicked deploy,” Wozniak explained, gesturing vaguely at his laptop. “That’s basically what a senior engineer does anyway, right? Delegate and trust.”

Asked whether he’d reviewed the pull request, Wozniak said he had “skimmed the green bits”.

The checkout flow currently charges international customers in a currency called “USD2”. Wozniak says this is “probably fine” and has scheduled a follow-up prompt to remind him to update this in his morning briefing on Monday.

Colleagues report Wozniak has not opened a code editor in eleven days. He has, however, opened Twitter forty-one times to post about “10x-ing his output.”

At time of writing, the checkout flow is still live. So is USD2.
