- codingdave 7mo agoDisagree on the second sentence - that attitude is how I'm seeing production systems break all over the place these days. "I don't know, so the AI output must be correct."
- kathir05 7mo agohymm. interesting perspective. curious to know where you see AI will fit in in our coding task?
- codingdave 7mo agoI see it as not having authority to deploy code to production without a human review. And that review cannot be done unless you understand the systems you are working on. Believe me, I absolutely hear all the people saying you need to be all-in on AI coding. But I disagree because that doesn't resonate with what I'm seeing in the real world, which is breakage, outages, incidents, and pissed off customers.
- kathir05 7mo agoI am completely aligned with you. I am all-in to support AI-assisted coding. I totally disagree AI first coding. It's been a decade coding for me. Strong in fundamentally and my mental model wired in and out in coding now. AI is making writing faster me. But not sure how would younger generation would navigate this clouded AI coding maze and down in 10 years make them resilient.
