Serious question, has anyone else had a reviewer completely miss the point of a tool?

Exactly! It's like blaming a hammer for not being a screwdriver. That shift in thinking is huge. You start to see that most of the time, the problem isn't the tool being broken, it's the person using the wrong one for the job. It saves so much frustration when you learn to match the tool to the task instead of expecting magic.

My team lead keeps saying AI will only take 'bad' jobs, but our data says something else

Ngl, @adams.uma has a point though. Your take really does miss some key facts.

My client brought in her 'sugar-free' yogurt for her dog's kong, and the ingredient list was a real eye-opener

It's crazy what they can hide in "sugar-free" stuff. A lot of those sweeteners are just as bad, or worse, for dogs. Xylitol is the big one to watch for, it's super toxic. Always gotta check the full list, not just the front label. My rule is if I wouldn't eat it myself, I don't give it to my dog. Plain yogurt is usually a much safer bet.

Just realized a missing semicolon cost me four hours yesterday.

Four hours hunting a missing semicolon sounds about right for some code bases I've seen. @finleyl39 has a point about checking first, but you don't always know what you're looking for. That tiny mistake can break EVERYTHING in a way that's not obvious. Calling it an overreaction misses how these things snowball when you're deep in it.
