Have you heard about the concept of refactoring? AI is also good at that! ;)

Comment #48869959
Yes you're right. It's that most programmers are so identified with the code, that now with AI they feel their whole identity is stolen, while indeed, being a developer is more tha…

None of what you say is characteristic of "the right" either. But the things I'm pointing out prove the points I'm making. Please try to understand. There's corruption everywhere, …

Ok, so you're basically saying that the AI-generated code does it's job, but when you actually review it you think the way it does it's job is not as it should, and if you get into…

And so you experience that AI generated code, even on lower levels, is not good enough for you to be more productive?

Comment #48841924
Well I think the reasoning of coding agents on lower levels is good enough for me that I don't have to constantly be involved with it, only occasionally have to dive in and help ou…

Comment #48841629
The right would tell you the left's ethicality is often fake and corrupt, and the right at least tries to be moral. There's something to that, but I think there's corruption on bot…

I just say "refactor the codebase" and that also works pretty good! I have my code styling rules in my CLAUDE.md already anyway

Why not just fix the code before you make a new feature? Or is that what you mean? Only you automatically fix the code on every prompt?

What's "normal" really? You could argue the climate has never actually been normal, or it always has been and always will
