Clear Writing Is Becoming a Superpower: The Problem With AI-Generated PRs and Text Isn't AI, It's Half-Done Work (starred)
Engineering Leadership Gregor·July 24, 2026
New
Summary
Gregor argues the credibility problem with AI-generated PRs and writing isn't the AI itself but engineers submitting unread, unedited AI output and shifting the review burden onto reviewers — direct accountability stays with the engineer regardless of tool.
Why this signal
Gives Thomas Engineering explicit language for a PR-hygiene norm ('half-done work,' not 'AI-generated work,' is the actual problem) — useful for setting review-culture expectations without banning AI-assisted PRs outright. Neo starred this.
