Reasonable policy, a lot of people are still gaining experience with this stuff

Honestly, I think people can use a good wake up call and stress test every now and then. Remember University of Minnesota?

People have a real tendency to get lax on engineering standards - "it's fiiiine, I know how everything works" - and get sloppy over time. *cough Linux kernel automated testing* - people like to go on autopilot, and that works until it doesn't.

But if you're using your head, LLMs are a godsend for all that tedious janitorial work that everyone likes to let slide.

And if you're doing all the work keeping the codebase documented, tested, organized, and you're migrating to Rust and maybe even thinking about formal verification, you'll find that the idiots with chainsaws have a hard time doing real damage.
