90% of the comments in the codebase on the project I work on now are links to JIRA tickets and incident reports. AI can't and won't ever do that, and those comments are absolute gold. You can immediately read a seemingly less than optimal or overly defensive snippet of code, wonder "what moron wrote this!?" and then immediately read the referenced ticket and realize that it's "overly defensive" due to a caller that abused our API and caused it to fall over.
- welshwelsh 3y agoYou don't think it's possible to integrate an AI system with JIRA so that it can link to the relevant tickets?
- netsharc 3y agoThere are probably already IDE integrations so you can make Jira-like strings clickable to the appropriate task, or show a tooltip to hover. It doesn't even need fucking AI, just regexp and just a configuration, e.g. if your Jira project is called NAI, any word that has the format NAI-[0-9]* should be such a link to https://jira.lookatmenotusingfancyai.com/task/NAI-xx https://jira.lookatmenotusingfancyai.com/task/NAI-xx Edit: then again, Jira tasks can end up being a place for long discussions. If the AI can summarize the end-result/the decisions taken, it would be useful.. but also as a Jira plugin.
