And yet, that’s all my boss wants of me. “Does a dev really need to understand the code if the AI understands it?”
That’s frustrating.

It sounds like your boss needs to stop being anyone’s boss. That kind of view is going to lead to piles of tech debt and everything that comes with it.

(The AI does not, in fact, understand it. The AI doesn’t understand anything at all. It’s a statistical text prediction machine.)

Does a dev really need to understand the code if the AI understands it? That if is doing a lot of lifting here, because AI doesn’t understand anything, it only finds mathematical responses to your question. There’s a reason the AI can’t give you the same script twice (or it constantly rewrites the fucking thing instead of just fixing the thing I told it to)
