I am currently going through this with someone in our organization.

Unfortunately, this person is vibe coding completely, and even the PR process is painful: * The coding agent reverts previously applied feedback * Coding agent not following standards throughout the code base * Coding agent re-inventing solutions that already exist * PR feedback is being responded to with agent output * 50k line PRs that required a 10-20 line change * Lack of testing (though there are some automated tests, but their validations are slim/lacking) * Bad error handling/flow handling



> 50k line PRs that required a 10-20 line change

This is hilarious. Not when you're the reviewer, of course, but as a bystander, this is expert-level enterprise-grade trolling.


Fire them?


I believe it is getting close to this. Things like this just take time though, and when this person talks to management/leadership they talk about how much they are producing and how everyone is blocking their work. So it becomes a challenging political maneuvering depending on the ability of certain leadership to see through the BS.

(By my organization, I meant my company - this person doesn't report to me or in my tree).


This is not really an option for your standard IC.


Just reject the PR?
