alt Hacker NewsI've started calling it "revenge of the QA/Support engineers", personally.
Our QA & Support engineers have now started creating MR's to fix customer issues, satisfy customer requests and fix bugs.
They're AI sloppy and a bunch of work to fix up, but they're a way better description of the problem than the tickets they used to send.
So now instead of me creating a whole bunch of work for QA/Support engineers when I ship sub-optimal code to them, they're creating a bunch of work for me by shipping sub-optimal code to me.
I wonder how well a coding agent would do if you asked one to review the change and then to rewrite the merge request to fix the things it criticized?
