What changed for me isn’t that AI writes bad code by default, but that it lowers the friction to adding code faster than the team can properly absorb it. The dangerous part is not obvious bugs, it’s subtle erosion of consistency.
- vinnymac 7mo agoWell said. I have to review PRs of non-software developers nowadays. The “what is this trying to do?” has never been harder to answer than before. It creates scenarios where 99% is correct, but the most important area is subtly broken. I prefer it to be human, where 60-80% will be correct, and the problematic areas begin to smell more and more gradually. In my experience LLMs, at times, may hide the truth from you in a haystack made of needles.
- thienannguyencv 7mo agoThis very matches my observation. The error isn't due to incorrect code—it's code that looks specific to your system but is actually generic patterns applied from the training process. The structure is correct, the logic is sound, it just doesn't interact with what your source code actually does. Harder to catch because nothing is factually wrong. You have to ask: could this output have been produced without actually reading my codebase?
