> Does that work as well with non-strangers who are your coworker?

Yeah, OK, I guess you have to be a bit less unapologetic than Linux kernel maintainers in this case, but you can still shift the culture towards more careful PRs I think.

> why are you even organizationally using LLMs

Many people believe LLMs make coders more productive, and given the rapid progress of gen AI it's probably not wise to just dismiss this view. But there need to be guardrails to ensure the productivity is real and not just creating liability. We could live with weaker guardrails if we can trust that the code was in a trusted colleague's head before appearing in the repo. But if we can't, I guess stronger guardrails are the only way, aren't they?
