merge conflict: when the diff is 40k lines and the approver is the owner

Show Notes

It's Monday morning. I open my PR queue. Branch name: codex/something. 200+ files. 40k lines. Description: "bugfix." I know exactly what I'm looking at before I open the diff. This episode isn't about whether AI should write code. It should. It does. That's fine. It's about accountability debt: the gap between who gets the efficiency win and who owns the system at 2am. And what you actually do when the person holding the PR is the owner of the company.
