Proton CEO Andy Yen projects a calm persona and rails against Big Tech and critiques AI. Internally, he is pushing engineers to build Proton with AI, even when they have security concerns.
I’m gonna take a slightly controversial stance and say that the LLM use isn’t even the main issue here, it’s the culture. If your teams don’t feel safe to discuss bugs, flaws, or problems with how work is getting done, you will inevitably ship worse code no matter if it’s human written or not. I haven’t generally cared much that they’re using LLMs for dev work, but this scares me for their product. There’s a reason IR and post mortems need to be truly blameless.
True. If people dont feel free to say shit when things go wrong then you won’t see issues till its too bad to be swept under the rug. Like a massive leak or critical failure. Its just not a good look for them.
NASA managers also disregarded engineers’ warnings about the dangers of launching in low temperatures, and they did not report these warnings to their superiors.
Morton Thiokol engineers told NASA. NASA managers challenged the data, and Morton Thiokol executives told the VP of engineering to override the engineers.

This is… Not exactly correct.
