  • The amount of shit we have to clean up from devs using AI generated code nowadays is insane. Some people are using it to generate the bulk of their code and the output can be trash tier.

    I was supposed to have a nice long weekend to rest and I spent most of it cleaning up after clients who pushed AI generated code into production that froze all data processing. Even after we found the problem and fixed it for them, the data didn’t catch up until yesterday afternoon. The entire holiday I had to spend with a laptop a few feet away on a Teams call because a dev used AI-gen code.

    I am not saying that it isn’t helpful to your situation. What I am saying is that a growing number of outfits are starting to depend on “devs” who’s code is mostly LLM generated, and they push it without understanding what it does or how it interacts with the environment they are deploying it in.
