#524In Google, there is a process called "Large Scale Change" which is primarily meant for trivial/safe but extremely tedious code changes that potentially span over the entire monorepo. Such as foundational API changes, trivial optimization, code style etc etc. This is a perfectly suitable for LLM driven code changes (in fact I'm seeing more and more of LLM generated LSC) and I guess a large fraction of mentioned "AI ge…

What about (c) the human doesn't realize the LLM-generated code is flawed, and accepts it?
I mean what happens when a human doesn't realize the human generated code is wrong and accepts the PR and it becomes part of the corpus of 'safe' code?

To err is human. To err at scale is AI.
To err at scale isn't unique to AI. We don't say "no software, it can err at scale".

Does it make you 25% more productive?

> just make search engines look for text in webpages. Google’s verbatim search option roughly does that for me (plus an ad blocker that removes ads from the results page). I have it activated by default as a search shortcut. (To activate it, one can add “tbs=li:1” as a query parameter to the Google search URL.)
> ?tbs=li:1 Thank you, this is almost life-alteringly good to know.
Seems that Firefox on mobile allows editing the url for most pages, but on google search results pages, the url bar magically turns into a did-you-mean alternate search selector where I cannot see nor edit a url. Surprised but not surprised.
Sure, there’s a work around for this too, somehow. But I don’t want to spend my life collecting and constantly updating a huge list of temporary hacks to fix things that others have intentionally broken.
