> When we first started experimenting with AI code review, we took the path that most other people probably take: we tried out a few different AI code review tools and found that a lot of these tools worked pretty well, and a lot of them

It's the later. You can view it and see fine grained progress, but you can't interact with it. I hope that's coming next, because it would be useful to steer later phases or even agents

I tried this out yesterday - lucky enough to have access through EAP at work. The workflows that are generated are quite good - smart parallelisation and phasing. End results for larger chunks of work are also much better, which I attribute

Is the end goal to not work? Are we supposed to not enjoy what we work on? Do we not believe in what the company we work for is trying to achieve?

My elderly mother ended up with a Dropbox subscription because someone sent her a file on Dropbox, that she could technically access for free, but she got dark patterned into creating an account and subscribing. To a yearly plan no less

The bet that he misses, which a lot of companies are starting to make or at least think about, is that AI will get better at coding. So the model / harness / whatever is next takes care of the maintenance burden. That's the t

Nah they do. They push Sonnet pretty hard rather than Opus for most tasks. Also: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-us...

I find it disconcerting that an article about cognitive debt contains many "tells" of being written by AI.

I wonder about the nuance within the data. Like does AI do much worse with children than adults, but still better overall for example. Or biological male vs female. I think we'd want it to do better across all groups, ages etc so we&#x

True. But this makes it easier to stand out in a sea of monotony.

It's not, but the author did say they have used this test against models when they come out. So it's possible that put the unpublished text into the training data for the next model, somehow linked back to the author's identi

This has happened in other industries before. Drafting for example when CAD arrived. Entry level wasn't "can draw, willing to learn" anymore, but demanded high domain understanding. So the pathway became compressed learning t

Experienced engineers that know the codebase and system well, and with enough time to consider the problem properly would likely consider this case. But if we're vibing... This is the kind of bug that should make it back into a review

I can't remember what the technique is called, but back in the GPT 4 days there was a paper published about having a number of attempts at responding to a prompt and then having a final pass where it picks the best one. I believe this

This is an excellent article. And can I just remind everyone that this is what human authorship looks like? Clearly not LLM generated. It has the author's unique tone, take on the subject, research, clear compelling story... A real bre

I got a lot of <empty> as well. But was able to get a slide deck out of it before that happened, and it was reasonably good. Not 1-shot good, but better than what I have gotten out of Opus 4.6 with a skill previously

And India. It's a common experience that engineering teams from India will say yes to everything and then do what they think is best. Rather than saying no and explaining what they want to do instead

This is a really nice setup for side projects and random ideas too. Thanks for sharing!
