One of the worst things about coding is having to pick apart someone else broken code.
So why the fuck would I want to accelerate my work to THAT point?
You know why designers and PMs like AI code? Because they don’t know what the fuck they are doing, they dont have to try and stitch that junk into 15 years of legacy code and they dont have to debug that shit.
“Actually Darkard, I ran this request into GPT and it came back with this? It’s only short and most of it has already been done here, so I think your story point estimate is wrong?”

I just want to highlight this for any designers or PMs reading along.
In the same breath, I want to invite my designer colleagues to try out this amazing designing script I wrote. It’ll save them a ton of time, I bet. (This is sarcasm.)
I actually respect the difficultly of designers jobs.
Even while many of them don’t respect the difficultly of mine.
Oh well. I’ll get paid either way, in the end, because this shit all breaks when it’s done wrong.
I agree, but also I do find that AI’s broken code is generally waaay less annoying to pick apart than my colleagues’ code. I’m not sure exactly why. Probably partly because it’s better at commenting code and naming variables so it’s easier to follow?
I think also partly it’s because reviewing other people’s code is usually done during code review, where you can’t just directly edit the code to fix it - you have to start a conversation convincing them to do it differently. That’s quite annoying and doesn’t happen with AI generated code.
What are the results if you take code written by one brand of ai and then have another brand of ai review it? Like use chatgpt to write code, and then ask copilot if the generated code has any errors and will work as intended?
I’m not a programmer so i don’t know if this makes sense, but I wonder if it’s easier to retool ai code because ai code is janky in a similar-ish way most of the time, while human code is janky in different ways all the time? Whadda ya think?

Fuuuuuck oooooooffffffff

It’s okay, bro. Let it out.
I just need Gareth to stop telling me that he knows how to code when he thinks a git push is what you do when you want grandpa’s inheritance early.

I still don’t understand why we’re using humans to review AI code. Shouldn’t AIs be reviewing the code?
We’re letting AIs do the fun part (coding) and forcing humans to review (the worst part) reams more janky code.
AI’s aren’t smart enough yet. But plenty of people are also using them to review code.

I don’t know, if I put my hand in a fan and then put that mutilated hand into another brand of fan, do you think that might fix it?

I disagree with the premise.
AI is good at making things that LOOK right. Pictures. Words. Whatever. Actually makes errors harder to find IMO.
