Man, this hits close to home. I’ve definitely been on teams where we were pushing out features like crazy, but if a major incident happened on an off-hour, everyone was terrified because only one specific dev actually knew how that legacy service functioned. Now that we're using AI assistants to spin up boilerplate and refactor chunks of code in seconds, that disconnect feels twice as fast. It’s way too easy to review and merge a PR that "works" without actually absorbing how it impacts the broader system architecture. We really need to start treating code readability and team knowledge sharing as critical sprint deliverables, not just nice-to-haves we'll get to later.
I couldn't agree more. I am hearing this issue more and more.
Going through those kind of major incidents that are tricky to debug is definitely a thought provoking experience.
