This is fact. My source is that I made it the fuck up
It's simple, really. If you don't understand what the AI is telling you to code, you'll spend five times what it would take a rawdogger to code it.
If you write the stuff yourself from scratch you know your train of thought, you know what it means and you know what it needs to be better.
Show me a head to head comparison of several coders doing the same assignment and let half of them use AI. Then we can assess the effects. My hypothesis is that the fastest one would have used AI. The slowest one wouldn't have used AI but is a crappy coder. But there will probably will be non-AI coders quicker than some AI coders.
I'd also bet on AI making isolated solutions, that will be impossible to integrate without incurring massive technical debt.
This. Coding challenges aren’t indicative of building an actual application. So far, I’ve found AI vastly inferior to any human I work with. Only use I’ve found is writing a bunch of basic tests to save some monotony. Still requires a bunch of extra tests to be written though since it never fully groks the code.
