We asked a week ago: if AI is such a superior programming method that it’ll produce live quality code for Microsoft and live code for Facebook that actual money relies on — then where are the AI co…
Is that Windsurf? My lot have just added that. Keeps suggesting making the path to every target in the build pipeline the same so that they’d overwrite each other, or perhaps implement the worst null-checking code I’ve ever seen.
The problem with suggesting 99% stupid shit is that I’m going to ignore the 1% that it identified correctly. If it limited itself to trivial syntax errors then it might have quite a useful hit rate, but we already have tools that do that.
We definitely have better tools for things like syntax checking and a linter step in the CI/CD pipeline has the advantage of not burning down a whole forest to do its job.
