I must only work with genius (or rather, extremely competent seniors) who keep their codebase very clean, because that never happened to me. Even in my worst job at a bank, with idiotic product dev who couldn't read a Java trace to save their lives, security was the only thing that mattered.

But like i said, this whole discussion on LLMs since Opus is out is _great_ for my ego. At first i thought i used it wrong, then my company made weekly meeting on "how to use AI" with devs who swore by it, now i'm confident I might be a bit above average after all.

Maybe it's different for tooling/network/security devs than for product devs, but i doubt our backend are _that_ complex.
