Why does everyone assume developers won't read and edit the code generated to be more correct?
Analyzing, debugging, and fixing code is what we do all day.

- tyingq 5y agoPresumably, skilled developers won't be the majority working in roles where copy pasting from the AI tool is a common pattern. I like PHP, for example, but a fair amount of the criticism of existing PHP codebases is because the ecosystem attracts lower-skilled folks. What you're mentioning will happen, some developers will use the tool the right way. I just don't think that will be the prevailing pattern.
