Tell that to the new programmer who builds a piece of software using this creating an absolute mess.
The danger here isn't with experienced developers (this is, obviously, a tool with great potential for productivity). It's with people who just blindly trust what the robot spits out.
Once code like that is implemented in a mission-critical system without discernment, all hell will break loose.

- rglover 5y agoTell that to the HR departments responsible for hiring developers at major companies. Not hiring subpar developers, especially in a massive company isn't a matter of "if" but "when." And it only takes one screw up to crash an airplane because of software. And guess who massive companies trust for their technology? Microsoft.
