I was so hoping that this would not be about AI, and actually talk about how we need to do better as an industry and start using objective measures of software quality backed by government standards.
Nope, its about AI code reviewing AI, and how that's a good thing.
Its like everyone suddenly forgot the old adage: "code is a liability".
"We write code twice as fast!" just means "we create liability twice as fast!". It's not a good thing, at all.
- dang 1y agoI had thought that putting quotes around the phrase "independent auditor" above would have prevented this sort of misunderstanding, but clearly not, so I've changed the title to something more straightforward now. (Submitted title was "Software needs an independent auditor")
- literalAardvark 1y agoImproving automated code review does improve software, so idk why you're grinding that axe in this particular thread.
- vouwfietsman 1y agoBecause rather than saying: "Maybe you should read all this AI code", or even: "maybe you shouldn't be generating all this AI code", its saying "You're right to generate so much AI code, and you don't have to read it, because you can now get it reviewed by AI!". Its like making a product to reduce hangover for heroin addicts: yes, maybe it helps, but maybe you shouldn't be a heroin addict?
