These are all classic symptoms of vibe-induced AI velocitis, sold by AI-peddlers as the future of the industry under the guise of "productivity."

AI can help one generate a lot of code, but the poor engineers approving the deluge of changes are still using their old, unmodified, stock meat-brains. An individual change may look fine in isolation, but when it's interacting with hundreds or thousands of other changes landing the same week , things can go south quickly.

Expect more instability until users rebel, and/or CTOs amd CIOs cry uncle. Amazon reportedly internally sounded the alarm after a couple of AI-tool-induced SEVs. The challenges at Github and the company insisting you don't call it Microslop are also rumored to be AI-related.
