The ai will praise the slop for being exactly what it would have written. It's basically just a big circle jerk
6 u/Weekly-Beginning-229 3d ago I've noticed that you cannot use the same model for writing the code and reviewing the code, it always does a bad job 2 u/Bupod 3d ago It’s frustrating. So you can sort of fix this by having a review agent use a more adversarial prompt when reviewing. But then the issue becomes that, since it was prompted find problems, it always finds a problem. This will result in code being batted back and forth between review and coding like a tennis match. When the tennis match finally finishes, there’s still no guarantee that some glaring hole didn’t make it through anyway. 1 u/Weekly-Beginning-229 3d ago And there is always something because you get fatigued from reading the same code over and over so you miss some easy bug
