Dunno man, the articles ai writes are empty cardboard crap, and the code it produces is hot garbage. “Cleaner upper of AI messes” might be a good future skill to have.
- AdamN 1mo agoAs has been said before we've been cleaning up garbage code for generations and that doesn't look even close to changing anytime soon.
- jahller 1mo ago100%, does it matter if I cleanup the mess of another dev or of an AI? I don't think so.
- loloquwowndueo 1mo agoCan other devs spew out crap at the same speed at AI? Cleaning up fifteen 10kloc pull requests per day? Yeah didn’t think so.
- AdamN 1mo agoThat's why you have agents to clean the code written by the other agents.
- lordnacho 1mo agoI don't think you can dismiss the output quality so easily. Give yourself a few hours to write out some code in the old way. Can you really tell me that you could not have done a better job with AI in the same time? Eg, implement chess or poker games. Or write a component like a Swiss table. It's not obvious to me that AI produces bad work at all.
- loloquwowndueo 1mo agoThat’s the thing - many times it’s not obvious. But go check that chunk of code that, sure, works, and you’ll find subtleties that just don’t look right. But hey - you do you if that’s the kind of quality you’re happy with.
- lordnacho 1mo agoAnd traditionally written code won't have those subtleties? Really?
- loloquwowndueo 1mo agoNot unless it’s written by a total novice. But hey - as in my previous reply, if you’re happy with AI-written code and honestly can’t see the difference, that’s ok. Do whatever floats your boat.
