> But we have no test suites that answer "is this code maintainable" or "does this feature make sense in the context of our business", so AI still fails those tests.

I've been struggling with this because I do believe maintainability of code is important. But the way it is going, if AI is writing all the code and no human needs to read it anymore, does it really need to be maintainable? Does it matter if it looks like alien code since we can throw it away when using the next AI model? I have no answers of my own to these questions...

Are there any other job openings there?

One thing we need to do is gradually increase the legal age at which one can buy cigarettes, vapes etc. I'd say until it gets to about 26-28 yo, when you're ripe enough to know that it is better not to start at all.

For security reasons, obviously! That way they wouldn't leak selfies because they wouldn't have any.

The issue is that there is no alternative to the "selfie" auth in case of Revolut.

This can happen with modern fintech because of greed. There's a reason they can offer such cheap services. The customer takes a risk in return. Now that risk has materialized.

> But they are verifying customers in person with account creation, this is an online bank

Revolut could do the same as they do with ATMs: make a partnership with local banks for the verification step.

I have accounts with 2 other banks. They never asked for a selfie.

Here is one of the replies I got during my conversation with their agent (unsure if human or automated):

"Your personal data must be held until it is permissible to erase it in accordance with the law. Rest assured, it is totally secure and only held for this purpose."

This was in the same conversation where I sent them the article.

I asked if my data was compromised, they said no, but how can I trust/verify this?

Other banks do not require selfies, so there are other options
