@danielpunkass@mastodon.social That’s not as clear as it seems. Humans are notoriously worse at verifying and monitoring things than doing them. That’s one reason code reviews aren’t worth much especially in large PRs. If you didn’t think through every little detail that resulted in a code line, you’re always implicitly trusting a lot of assumptions implied in the output. And you’re also missing those “wait, this could be better” moments when you have all the context in your head at the code abstraction level.

@danielpunkass@mastodon.social And BTW this doesn’t mean the AI tooling is useless. I use it often for boring, mechanical, repetitive, or throw-away work. But many things AI enthusiasts say are just not true, and that’s not an opinion, it’s backed by science on how the human brain works, and equivalence between doing and reviewing/monitoring is certainly one of those.
