@doctorgoktor@mastodon.social @HalvarFlake@mastodon.social that's exactly right. That is exactly right and the value that I see. The potential that it has at basically taking menial tasks that we unfortunately tend to give to juniors — because it's just not cost effective to give it to anyone else, but is also sooooo boring — is immense. Instead said juniors will likely learn to automate those tasks and will be able to ramp up faster as a result on more critical things to their seniority, and even in many cases, senior folks will take the menial tasks by using the mechanical robot to do them, and also get more time to teach. You still need to check the work, but that's way easier to check repetetitive work than it is to *do* repetetitive work.

  • @madcoder@infosec.exchange @HalvarFlake@mastodon.social for me it's been amazing for stuff like "make this code memory safe" or "get these unit tests up to 100% branch coverage" where you definitely still need human review but the tedium otherwise prevented you from even considering it
