I tried AI, and i never could/dared to actually push anything to prod. The code seems ok, but i always have a gut feeling somethings off.
I guess the most valuable thing you loose is the "what" and "how". You cant learn these things from just reading code, because the mental model just is not there.
Also i dislike code reviews, it feels "like a waste of time" because sure i can spot some things, but i never can give the real feedback, because the mental model is not there (i did not write this code).
Having said that, I still use AI for my own code review, AI can spot some one-offs, typos, or even a few edge cases i missed.
But i still write my own code, i want to own it, i want to have an intimate knowledge of it and really understand the whys and whats.
- andsoitis 6mo agoDo you not work with others in a code base?
- phplovesong 6mo agoI do, but in this case some one else did the writing, not AI. I can always drop them a PM about how/why something is like it is. I cant do this with AI, and when trying you cant trust the real reason, and the answer will pretty much change depending on how you ask it.
- kgwxd 6mo agoYeah, and it's awful working with someone you know is going to mess thing up, in major ways, has no self-reflection, and cannot be held accountable for anything, because they're management's best buddy.
