@munificent@mastodon.social I'm collecting metaphors about AI and one I kind of like is that, when you're using it to clean up your codebase and improve code health, it's sort of like using a pressure washer. You can use it to clean your steps but you wouldn't use it to clean a painting. A lot of the code we write is not that delicate and can stand up to pressure washing, if it has good tests and all that. I can take satisfaction in getting things nice and clean even when it's not hugely meaningful art.
