I found the article interesting in that the author didn't baulk at receiving an unchecked uncheck-able bulk of code. If this is what is supposed to ship, am I just old-fashioned to think this should not be acceptable? There is no way I would ship code that a person had not read, let alone written.
A quick straw poll. Are most people here who use AI to code well-versed in their languages/software development? i.e. 10+ years experience doing it "by hand"?
I think in ten years time there will be no developers with that 10 years experience behind them.
I did everything by hand for so long and miss it, now I just read thousands of lines day in day out. But there are interesting gains such as lowered barrier to quickly run adhoc perf tests, do some formal verification, you can just add more guardrails for the thing that gets shipped. The thing I hate though is when managers sell their generated code and you are left shoehorning it to production, they take away the interesting part of the job.
