I'm tired of people speedrunning the end of their careers. The more they brag to leadership how much can be done without reading the code, the more leadership will believe that no one has to read it. Even if verification isn't nearly there, and they're just on a lucky streak before it breaks down.

If anything, the expectations will become so high that you actually don't have time to read the code if you wanna meet them.

Also, don't share a generated presentation that you clearly haven't even read yourself. Btw, the animations are so flashy that people stop hearing little you confusingly say as you look at the slides for only the second time. I don't know the rules of good presentations, but this ain't it.

If I ask you a question, I'm obviously asking for your understanding. If you have one, I want it from you.

If you're going to ask an LLM for me, then you should say so in your response. But I'd still want your response to be how you understood the LLM. Otherwise just tell me how you'd prompt it. No benefit of a meat proxy.

Regarding speedrunning, it's not just their careers, it's everyone's careers at companies where enough of certain people believe that all work is prompting, and that it is easy and can be done carelessly.
