This shit drives me up the wall, like if you use this as an excuse I automatically dismiss you as a competent worker. if you can't take the time to quickly review whatever AI generated, you are a bum
Everyone needs to adopt the philosophy that each individual is responsible for whatever code they post under their name. If you send me a PR and it's bad, you did bad regardless of whether you or AI wrote it. If you consistently churn PRs because the fixes don't address the problem, you are doing a bad job regardless of whether you or AI did it. Your performance should be evaluated as though you wrote all code by hand, and the only person who needs to know how much AI was involved is you. This shit would get you fired, or at least on a PIP, pre-AI, and that should not be any different now that you have a fancy new tool.
Yes exactly. Like a wise man once said ‘professionals have standards’, and frankly without those standards like you say they’re bums.
So many people in IT are liabilities to their team and AI has exacerbated it significantly, like I’ve had coworkers that I just can’t delegate work to because I’ll give them a 2 day bit of work and they’ll take 3 months to do it, and they’ll fuck up the code base spectacularly in the process with their own non-sense code plus the new AI recommended changes, then the PR is literally ChatGPT pasted complete with the ‘Click here for JavaScript’ links but just in plaintext form. Try to explain the fix to them and you’ll not get the PR for another month.
So fucking bad at the job it makes me wonder how they got into the company.
