I was doing a code review this week. There was nothing wrong with the code in terms of structure or performance, but it was doing this really weird operation with an ID after DB insert. I asked about it and the author was like "yeah, that's weird; I don't know why the AI did that. I'll remove it." My dude, I know you can write good code. Don't be lazy!
i dont understand that. i use ai for help reading through old stuff or to help me remember how tondo a thing i havent done in two years but blindly copy pasting blows my mind.
I suspect it's the same people that blindly copied stackoverflow code without understanding it. Which is likely where the LLMs are getting most of its answers from in the first place.
and these people were always the majority.
so people saying that genai amplifies, they are correct, it amplifies the bullshit and the bad things.
there were always more mediocre and useless people that top performers.
it has been a miracle that anything has worked good enough so far.
