    I’m having this argument with one of my junior guys who wants to just go with the generated code. We finally got his code functional, months late, and now need to get it maintainable

    AI is a useful tool that can help speed up some of the tasks of coding but it’s not magical. It’s never a final result

    AI could really help me get more done if we could weed out people following it blindly

      At least with AI it’s easy to see how shitty it gets as the codebase grows working on even a toy project over a week.

      Then again, if you have no frame of reference maybe that doesn’t feel as awful as it should.
