alt Hacker NewsI find it very interesting the degree to which coding agents completely ignore warnings. When I program I generally target warning-free code, and even with significant effort in prompting, I haven't found a model that treats warnings as errors, and they almost all love the "ignore this warning" pragmas or comments over actually fixing them.

Yeah I've had problems with this recently. "Oh those are just warnings." Yes but leaving them will make this codebase shit in short time.
I do use AI heavily so I resorted to actually turning on warnings as errors in the rust codebases I work in.
unfortunately this is not the most common practice. I've worked on rust codebases with 10K+ warning. and rust was supposed to help you.
It is also close to impossible run any node ecosystem without getting a wall of warnings.
You are an extreme outlier for putting in the work to fix all warnings
You can use hooks to keep them from being able to do this btw
