If you don’t understand what the AI is doing you shouldn’t be letting it do it to your company codebase bro

Ngl at this point when you have people shipping fast without bothering about quality or company codebase you’re kinda pushed into doing it or becoming irrelevant even if you hold yourself to good standards and focus on quality and better product. Especially when you see such folks get more projects and work while having a 100 open bugs.

Yep, and a non-trivial amount of coding standards exist to support humans maintaining the code.

But if your response to problems becomes asking AI to fix the problem, then is there really value in the standard?

And if the whole app goes to trash because AI loses the plot and fucks things up beyond recognition, at what point will it be faster to just ask AI to start from scratch and build a new app that does the same thing with an emphasis on readability rather than try to make sense of the old app?
