I don't think you can put all else aside, but even just focusing on the maintainability of code itself... Using these tools to uncover bugs, sure. Using them to generate code that nobody in your community fully understands... well... And I know, you say, you'll be responsible about it. But you won't be able to keep up, justifying keeping up with that level of review won't happen. So you'll slip. And you'll eventually embrace not knowing. And so is everyone else around you. And so, decades of work are knotting up and the foundations are ensaring beneath our feet. And we could have, collectively, organizationally, taken a stand, and we didn't.

    @cwebber@social.coop Someone was saying recently that at their work they're expected to review 20K lines of slop code per day. Realistically, nobody no matter how experienced will be able to do that. So bullshit will get waived through and it will all collapse after a while. FOSS projects following this type of method won't last very long.
