Reviewing code is absolutely different from writing it, and in my opinion much harder if the goal is more than surface level understanding.
This is what I am still grappling with. Agents make more productive, but also probably worse at my job.
- MeanEYE 7mo agoThe biggest problem in my head with AI generated code is that its mistakes are subtle but can still be critical. There will be a point where people don't understand generated code and just leave it unmodified allowing other code to pile up and depend on it. At that point you no longer have a bug, but a new feature. Also, AI doesn't grasp things on a big scale, just shits out output with highest score. This doesn't mean output is a great fit for your project or for upcoming plans.
