I know a ton of people absolutely hate this level of "LLM code + LLM PR description + LLM PR review" but my boss would have an orgasm if I was able to use AI half as well in our org... :/
- Atotalnoob 3mo agoJust stop caring about quality. It makes it 10x easier to produce slop with AI if you never bother to check
- rustystump 3mo agoIt is sad. This is a new reality. No one reads code, it is agents all the way down. It has been long enough now that I can safely say AI has not sped up project delivery nor improved quality when it did ship. Is it the AI or the people using it? Idk
- mannanj 3mo agoHumans made the AI, and their goal is profit, so there’s no AI using people: it’s humans using people.
- fzzzy 3mo agoIt is sad. This is a new reality. No one reads machine code, it is compilers all the way down. It has been long enough now that I can safely say C has not sped up project delivery nor improved quality when it did ship.
- Yoric 3mo agoI just wrote an internal report in my company. My conclusion from the project I'm working on is that, as of this day, there is no way to have both this so-called 20x performance improvement _and_ any kind of quality. Or security if whoever is running the agent has any token in an .env anywhere on the same file system. We'll see in which direction the CTO takes this. My bet is not on quality.
- MuffinFlavored 3mo agoThe company I work for, the code Opus 4.8 is able to generate, is higher quality than what was left behind by 10+ years of contractors that have come and gone.
- Yoric 3mo agoI understand that some developers produce very poor code. Maybe in some companies it's the norm. Luckily for me, I've seldom worked alongside such developers. In my company, the code Opus 4.8 is able to generate appears competent, but if you dig a bit, it contains way more timebombs than anything I've seen the team members develop.
- vips7L 3mo agoTime bombs and just 2-3x the amount of code for the same thing. I recently rewrote a Claude generated feature from 3000 lines to 800. I guess AI fans are just predicting that no one will have to read the code in the future or something like that.
- MuffinFlavored 3mo ago> Just stop caring about quality. I'm not so sure this is true anymore. It may have been years ago but... can you honestly say "the Bun project was fully AI written, therefore the quality is poor"? Any concrete examples/proof?
