We’ve had a very recent uptick in engineers submitting PRs of hundreds of lines across multiple files, for Jira tickets that only asked for a one-line change. The engineers involved have been using AI assistants for nearly two years now, but there seems to have been a change in the last month or so in how aggressive the new models are at changing code.
This is exacty what I’m seeing. I’ve been using it in a DevOps capacity to act on runbooks. The same wrote task 3 months ago now consume 4-5x more tokens. this correlated closely with when anthropic released auto mode.

2 years and they still don’t know how to prompt…
I mean, I don’t know how to prompt. Mostly because I don’t use AI to code.
