No, it's still a terrible idea even if it's used as an auto-complete. As the article correctly states, the primary job of a software engineer is to maintain existing code, not to write new code. You're not going to be doing yourself any favors by committing code that you didn't even read (unless you're one of those people who can get away with shoving all your bugs onto coworkers, in which case you're an asshole).
- LAC-Tech 4y agoSo devils advocate: - the average developer tenure now is very short - most software companies just want features, features and more features due to market pressure - writing new systems is much more popular than maintaining or upgrading old ones. So maybe this is the future. But it's kind of a sad one.
