One of the worst things about coding is having to pick apart someone else broken code.

So why the fuck would I want to accelerate my work to THAT point?

You know why designers and PMs like AI code? Because they don't know what the fuck they are doing, they dont have to try and stitch that junk into 15 years of legacy code and they dont have to debug that shit.

"Actually Darkard, I ran this request into GPT and it came back with this? It's only short and most of it has already been done here, so I think your story point estimate is wrong?"

Fuuuuuck oooooooffffffff

is having to pick apart someone else broken code.

I agree, but also I do find that AI's broken code is generally waaay less annoying to pick apart than my colleagues' code. I'm not sure exactly why. Probably partly because it's better at commenting code and naming variables so it's easier to follow?

I think also partly it's because reviewing other people's code is usually done during code review, where you can't just directly edit the code to fix it - you have to start a conversation convincing them to do it differently. That's quite annoying and doesn't happen with AI generated code.

I still don't understand why we're using humans to review AI code. Shouldn't AIs be reviewing the code?

We're letting AIs do the fun part (coding) and forcing humans to review (the worst part) reams more janky code.

AI's get the fun part of everything right now. AI gets writing, humans get editing. AIs get drawing, humans get fixing hands and details, etc etc
