Those of you who like code review: I recommend shifting left, pairing with your colleagues (especially non-programmers such as product designers or testers), and writing lots more test cases. I think you’ll enjoy it a lot.

@samir the bad bit that we do really badly.

@samir oh, but you see, you don’t do the bad bit either…

@samir had the same though, 5 years ago. Sigh. The answer is: capitalism, I guess.

@samir well, who is "we"?

@samir I will never understand why we looked at art and doing laundry... and decided to automate the art leaving us having to do a lot more more laundry.

@samir Except that the code review is also given to the automate that programmed the shit ( and yes vibing code it is for you. ) And good luck for the maintenance of programs.

@samir Respectfully I think that's ... maybe the inverse? We automated the bad bit, which is "generating the text", in a way that obviates the important part, of creating a community of comprehension around the problem we're solving.

@samir If code review is the bad bit, you're doing it wrong. That's how you learn and share.

@samir the other thing that escapes the bean counters is that code is faster to write then to fully understand. Hence all the bugs all the time and projects devolving into balls of mud. Every line is a liability. And we created a machine that excels in generating plausible lines with absolutely no understanding of what it does.

@samir like every job ai shit is involved in. It takes away the fun and creates even more of the non-fun work.

@samir Instead of getting a robot that does the laundry and washes dishes so I can spend my time being creative, I get a thing that fakes creativity so I can spend my time doing laundry and washing dishes. This is the most disappointing dystopia possible.

@samir i like the assumption that anyone decided anything, instead of just "here's a new solution (LLM), let's see what problem we can apply it to"
