#3i would be may more impressed if LLMs could do code compression. more code == more things that can break, and when llms can generate boatloads of it with a click you can imagine what might happen

#4When I was there, way more than 25% of the code was copying one proto into another proto, or so people complained. What sort of memes are people making now that this task has been automated?

This actually sparked an idea for me. Could code complexity be measured as cumulative entropy as measured by running LLM token predictions on a codebase? Notably, verbose boilerplate would be pretty low entropy, and straightforward code should be decently low as well.

#8if the golden rule is that code is a liability, what does this headline imply?

So GCS customers will trust their codegen product. (Engineers aren’t the buyer; corp suite is)

I agree. It seems like counting lines of generated code is like counting bytes/instructions of compiled code - who cares? If “code” becomes prompts, then AI should lead to much smaller code than before.
I’m aware that the difference is that AI-generated code can be read and modified by humans. But that quantity is bad because humans have to understand it to read or modify it.
