alt Hacker NewsI don't get this. AI coders keep saying they review all the code they push, and your suggestion is to use even harder languages the average vibe coder is unable to understand, all in name of "performance"? Faster code maybe, and exponentially increasing the tech debt and amount of bugs that slips through.
It wasn't even long ago that we thought developer experience and capacity for abstraction (which is easier to achieve in higher level languages) was paramount.
> AI coders keep saying they review all the code they push
Those tides have shifted over the past 6 weeks. I'm increasingly seeing serious, experienced engineers who are using AI to write code and are not reviewing every line of code that they push, because they've developed a level of trust in the output of Opus 4.5 that line-by-line reviews no longer feel necessary.
(I'm hesitant to admit it but I'm starting to join their ranks.)
