It's funny because I read the headline and thought "normally, generated code is very low technical debt because if you do find a bug, it's easy to fix it once in the code generator and all instances will be squashed", but the article is of course about AI, the topsy turvy world, where it's exactly the opposite.
- anonzzzies 3y agoYes, no longer than about a year ago (yes I know copilot is older but not literally everyone was talking about this before gpt), code generation was compilation (or transpilation which some people say if it’s x->js) or some type of template/model driven generation where you input a formal(sdl etc) spec and code gets generated. Seems now every post about code generation is about AI. It would be good if the latter would read some materials from the former, as this field is quite old and, imho, interesting. More interesting than coercing gpt into doing something better, it won’t be consistent anyway.
