Sounds like a failure of imagination to me (I hope you're right). It doesn't have to be the CTO, it can be anyone who will sit there for the cheapest cost to read output while assuming the risk of it all working until they retire. Sounds glorious

scapegoating isn't really legally viable. corps who outsource their development haven't outsourced their liability.

Sorry I meant ownership of it working when an alert goes off in production and having to fix it, not legal liability. I should have been more clear.

Even if all the changes are “good” not shoddy, awareness of changes will still require layers of cognitive filtering. One human PM clerk will not be able to oversee all of the products, one developer will not be able to oversee all changes in all codebases.

Well obviously the real solution is for the owner of the company to

1. Fire everyone else

2. prompt the AI "make me more money than you cost" (that's a short prompt, innit?)

3. Retire to Aruba

Right, in 5 years time the economy will be entirely vibecoded by pension fund and family office bankers. No one will be employed at all
