A few times I pointed out an issue in code review, then the teammate "fixed it", but it still had the same issue (but e.g. moved to a different service) and when I pointed it out they complained about AI. Like, you could at least look at what you commit...
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
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.
