I’ve had a meeting where I had to explain the codebase to a new joiner, we were crying laughing at how bad the code was. This particular fortune 500 company never cared to fix it, they just wanted more features. So yes AI can be shit, but god I trust it more than some of the shit I’ve seen humans write. Shit devs will make shit code with or without AI. Good devs will make good code, just faster with AI
