varankinv··on FreeBSD doesn't have Wi-Fi driver for my old MacBook, so AI built one for me
Above it was said, that in a code review, an expert would ask the author to "justify and rework". Clearly, people have always been capable producing code, that wasn't great, regardless if they read the code or not.

I was personally surprised when the agent debugged kernel panics caused by its own code (many times by now). It just iterates from the stack traces and crash dumps. The nice part is that, when you do see that the code smells — you ask the agent to rework it, focusing on specific problems. This is just code, and you don't need to dance around, hoping that AI will spill some "magic" at you.
varankinv··on Wireless-to-Ethernet island for RPi cluster: IPv6, NDP proxy, mDNS reflector
As far as I can tell, I have the same IPv6 prefix for at least a year. Of course, if the prefix's changed, I'll have to reconfigure the homelab. If that started to become annoying I would automate that with an ansible task. But will probably need to search for a better and more stable solution.

I've tried to set up PD but it didn't work, so I've moved on with other options. Now, after you mentioned that, this feels like a good excuse to delve into what exactly didn't work back then.
