Imagine you are a restaurant reviewer. Your job is unquestionably to go to restaurants, order and eat food, and write a review. The restaurant's job is to provide you food to eat and review.
replyYou go to a new restaurant, and order some dishes, and one of the plates your server brings out is a big ol pile of dog shit.
Who's being anti-social in this situation? The restaurant is doing its job and all they're asking is that you do yours. On the other hand, you have certain expectations about what you order from the restaurant and they're not being met. Who's anti-social?
He's not bringing you a pile of dog shit. He's bringing you some food he went to the restaurant next doors to get. How do you review it?
replyI cannot think of a single actual food critic that would consider it acceptable for a restaurant to serve a dish for review that they went to the restaurant next door to get. If the critic wanted to eat at/review that restaurant they would simply have gone there instead.
replyHis point, exactly.
replywhat is the point? this whole restaurant analogy is completely fictitious and happens nowhere, and the scenario i'm describing is happening all the time... why not just talk about the not imaginary scenario?
replySo he’s redundant. You call Uber Eats and you don’t pay a salary for that.

replyThe person who "writes" code is also supposed to review their own work, and answer for that. If they won't do that - well - they should be fired. But if you have weak or uninvolved leadership, then the team's only rational recourse is to shun them.
replyIt’s much more effort to verify that code is correct than it is to produce it. This is the case even for human-written code, and now that we face a torrent of ok-looking probably-usable AI generated code, the problem is compounded infinitely.
replyIf someone’s using AI to generate a large quantity of actually-tested, actually-good code then that’s one thing. If they’re generating a fire hose of slop and demanding that others do the actual human time-consuming work of validating that code then that person is the problem. It’s hard to tell which is the case here.
