Reminds of when companies offshored their whole dev team and just sent requirements to them thinking they’d make code cheaper.
I mean, it was cheaper. It’s just that it was also awful. It was basically like firing all your senior devs and giving their work to randos who can’t code, but with plausible deniability.
Yes it was cheaper, even after they had to re-hire the folks they fired so they could fix the code they sent to a dev farm overseas with just a vague set of requirements and no oversight.
But the same sort of attitude is happening with AI, like the code it’s making won’t require review and testing.
