I’ve left so many PR reviews in the last few months that are essentially “this looks good but delete 80% of the comments.”

I’ve left so many PR reviews in the last few months that are essentially “this looks good but delete 80% of the comments.”
- victor_edka 3mo agothis. like I feel that even telling sonnet 5 to explicitly not add comments it still produces them even on suppa simple logic
- munk-a 3mo agoLets assume one of two worlds - one where AI is constantly improving and one where the tooling is a dead end. In the first world the AI generated comments are no better than the commentary that would be generated in the next six months - in the second world the AI generated comments will obscure the human written comments. In what world are AI generated comments actually value adds?
- evan_ 3mo agoIf the AI (or the person) ran into a non-obvious constraint, or some externality, or there’s a plan that just isn’t implemented yet- then the comment wouldn’t be able to be divined by the AI. But yeah just pointing the AI at something and saying “write me docs” will get you something at best equally good as what’s going to be available.
