Code analysis firm sees no major benefits from AI dev tool when measuring key programming metrics, though others report incremental gains from coding copilots with emphasis on code review.

    so your argument is because shitty devs exist that AI can’t be a shitty tool.

    Shitty tools exist. shitty devs exist. allowing AI code generation only serves as an excuse for shitty devs when they’re allowed to use it. “oh sorry, the AI did that.” “man that didn’t work? musta been that new algorithm github updated yesterday.”

    shitty workers use shitty tools because they don’t care about the quality and consistency of the product they build.

    ever seen a legitimate carpenter use one of these things to build a house?

    yeah, you won’t because anything built with that will never pass inspection. shitty tools are used by shitty devs.

    could AI code generation get better? absolutely! is it possible to use it today? sure. should you use it? absolutely not.

    as software developers we have the power to build and do whatever we want. we have amazing powers that allow us to do that, but rarely do we ever stop to ask if we should do it.
