FTE. Full time equivalent. Mosts costs are denominated in FTE - headcount as well as things like CPU/memory/storage/...

The quality of a PR is a reflection of the author not the tools the author uses. The last thing an engineer should do before sending out a PR is to review it themselves. A PR is a work product with their name on it, and is a reflection of their ability. This was true before LLM tools, and should be true after.
