alt Hacker NewsDoes AI write 100% correct code? No, but under my watch it writes code that is more correct than anything that anyone else on the team contributed in past year or more. Even better when it is wrong I don’t have to spend literal hours arguing with it nor I have to be mindful how what I’m saying affects others feelings so I get to spend more time on actual work. All in all it’s a net positive

I never said it’s not a net positive - I said that writing more code won’t solve the problem.

This I don’t believe.
I agree.
I provide specific instructions, gotchas when prompting the Agent to write the code. I churn out more instructions quickly by using my voice.
Yes it makes mistakes, but it can correct them quickly as well. This correction loop takes more time if it is a human in my team working.
