My sister-in-law is a software engineer and project manager. This isn't groundbreaking news or anything but she said that her engineers are using generative AI like this. The problem is that it created exceedingly inefficient and bloated code that barely works. En masse it will bog down systems due to the exponential inefficiencies.
It's fine. Everything is fine.
Yup, it's a junior dev that never learns, makes thousands of tiny mistakes that tolerance stack into a brittle gnarled mess.
Who needs tech-debt when you have new and improved slop-debt?
So......why is she letting them, and not instead, like, not letting them?
I'm not her or her employer. It is an odd time for the coding industry. It'd be like a fish swimming against the manager/leader-lead river.
how’s she like working for Microslop?
If folks think Windows 11 is bad now! FWIW she ain't at a big tech company. It is the whole ass coding industry as seen by countless reports.
