Your seniors are not senior then. None of my seniors would commit these subtle mistakes. Find people who can do that and AI gives them superpower.

- pdimitar 2y agoI view the time of hand-crafting good code a better investment than spending the same time (and sometimes more) carefully eye-balling tool output that is almost guaranteed to contain subtle mistakes and correct them.
- thrw42A8N 2y agoI don't have this problem at all, and yet I use Copilot daily since it was closed beta. The output I get is very helpful, indeed sometimes wrong but it's very much outweighed by the successes. I sometimes turn it off to remember how it used to be, and it's just terrible. It actually makes me and my team 10x devs.
- pdimitar 2y agoYour point being? That it does not happen to you, means it never happens to anyone else?
- thrw42A8N 2y agoThe point is that the senior professionals who benefited from it created so much additional productivity, it doesn't matter that there is someone who can't use it well - that doesn't make AI useless or not worth it.
- pdimitar 2y agoDoubling down on anecdotal evidence, okay.
- thrw42A8N 2y agoAnd yours is backed by what exactly?
- pdimitar 2y agoNothing... just like yours. One anecdotal evidence does not nullify the other, and vice versa. You have your experience, I have mine. I even qualified my statements -- one of the languages I use is not very popular and thus statistical models like the LLMs obviously don't do well with it -- but you are happy to ignore that and keep arguing that your experience is the prevailing phenomena, which I'll always disagree with. Peace.
