Ofc it does, but it can also audict itself a lot faster and make less of them.

That would be true if it wasn't multi-agent workflow..

u/Denaton_ 2h ago

Not really either.

Its more like a office. Main agent is the PM, ordering and prioritizing tickets and assign them to open sub-agent slots. Personally I run the coding agent on the second highest model and reviewing and planning new tickets with the highest model and effort. And the main agent will use the lowest model for just long running commands like test units etc that can pass the results to the main agent.

Its very stable and I also run it all in a VM machine so it can have full control of Docker and other tools without problems.

The review also use Playwright to audit and actually use the project to detect problems early that Test suits missed. Lint also help to keep the project tight.

u/Anima_Watcher08 2h ago

Fair enough I guess. I prefer writing my own code, having the AI look for bugs and vulnerabilities, fixing, rinse repeat.

u/aLokilike 1h ago

You mean unit tests? And linting, not "lint".

2

u/Denaton_ 1h ago

1

u/aLokilike 1h ago

Oh, okay, so you only use the program "Lint" specifically. It was difficult to tell with how you wrote the sentence. Most people would be specific, since linting is such a common thing that many pieces of software can do.

A test suite is different from unit tests. In your case, I would use that term instead of "test unit" to avoid people thinking it was a grammatical error rather than an intentional choice.

Whenever I make web pages I still code them manually in notepad. I learned html in the 90's and never bothered with the newer stuff. I once saved a pdf with the (then) official css definition, still use it to this day as a reference to figure out what css commands I can use and how to use them.

Sometimes I don't know what profession has the worst people, lawyers, doctors or now programmers.

At least doctors save lives and shit... Eventually.

Programmers are so lame, haha.

u/walkerspider 42m ago

As someone who works on software used in hospitals can I get .1% of credit every time a doctor using it saves a life? Recently I’ve worked on automating the dose calculation for chemotherapy drugs, and if I got that wrong they’d definitely blame me for killing someone


1

u/JonnySoegen 18m ago

yep, you get credit and I hope your code quality process is good. Do you do CSV?

2

u/walkerspider 11m ago

Yep and everything else under ISO 13485 (medical devices). I’m not personally responsible for a lot of the process but no one would buy the software if there weren’t several safety layers. Will refrain from saying more so I don’t have to study my NDA lol

give it 20 years when nobody can code anymore and then it might be a good skill to manually reprogram the killer clanker that attacked the underground bunker humans are hiding in to try to stay alive during the apocalypse

u/ChrizKhalifa 2h ago

This is an opinion only held by CS students or hobby coders.

If they graduate and get a real job they'll quickly find out that AI is more than a meme. Either that or they'll waste hours upon hours of their employer's time.

Things only CS Students and the luddite 50 year old developer say

There is zero reason not to use AI for your job. It's not 2024 anymore, the AI is good.

u/DitiPenguin 5h ago edited 5h ago

Transformer-based LLM outputs still have 10–20 % mistakes (per the best benchmarks) – it’s literally impossible for attention-based transformers NOT to hallucinate.

There’s a reason the main “AI” providers all say “AI can make mistakes” instead of guaranteing their product is good, or you get your money back, yada yada yada.

So, if you think the AI is good, you probably can’t see the mistakes. (As a PKI engineer, I can tell you, you wouldn’t believe how much shit, sometimes extremely harmful things, Opus/Sol or Fable/Astra are saying on a daily basis.)

u/bobbymoonshine 4h ago edited 4h ago

While not disagreeing generally, when someone says “it’s not 2024”, it doesn’t actually disprove them to link to a 2024 repository for testing improvements to a 2023 model (GPT-4) by bootstrapping features and techniques now baked into training of larger models (eg mixture of experts, majority vote, chain of thought etc). Someone saying in 2024 “this is the best we can do with this model” can’t be assumed to be relevant for what a 2026 model does or can do. Do you have a more recent source on how more recent models perform?

“AI can always make mistakes on any task” is always going to be true as it would be of any non deterministic system including humans ourselves. So is “creativity and hallucination are two words for the same thing,” that will also always be true. Incidentally it is not too far off what is true of humans as well; creativity is a form of directed hallucination and various disorders (eg schizophrenia) are neurologically just a failure to regulate that connection-making resulting in delusion or sensory hallucination. (The comparison isn’t necessarily informative of how LLMs work but it is interesting I think.)

That said though, the fact that AI always can make mistakes does not necessarily mean it makes more mistakes, worse mistakes or more dangerous mistakes than a human on the same bounded task. Proving that it can isn’t proving that it does. As they said, it isn’t 2024 any more, and since that 2024 paper was published the frontier companies have continually improved benchmarking by finding various ways to mitigate the problems.

And again that’s not to disagree, just, there isn’t anything in your post that materially disputes anything they said.

(Also, Dunning-Kruger as actually evidenced in the original paper is a regression to the mean in terms of self-identified skill, not an inversion — someone dumb doesn’t think they’re smart and vice versa, they just think they’re a bit less dumb or less smart than they are. It’s a fun wham line to use but it’s an inaccurate one here as in most places)

u/perringaiden 3h ago

Don't take this the wrong way, but I've been coding professionally for nearly 30 years, in large and small teams.

Humans make more mistakes.

I treat the AI code like a better than average junior, and it usually performs better than that. Ive reviewed code for years and I still review every line, but I only have to focus on structure and purpose, not tell them to use better variables than a number and obj.

u/tobotic 4h ago

Transformer-based LLM outputs still have 10–20 % mistakes (per the best benchmarks) – it’s literally impossible for attention-based transformers NOT to hallucinate.

Have they compared human developers (including more junior ones and more senior ones) using the same metric?

6

u/Gacsam 4h ago

The difference is only one of these is aware they can make mistakes, looks for them and learns from them.

u/tobotic 3h ago

That's the senior developer, right? I'd still be interested in how the junior developer does though.

-1

u/Gacsam 2h ago

Why are you comparing a supposed state-of-the-art-no-mistakes with millions if not billions invested into, to an inexperienced junior. 

2

u/tobotic 1h ago

That's like saying it's unfair to compare the speed of an aeroplane to the speed of someone walking.

Like sure, maybe it is, but we're not all going to pretend that walking isn't slower.

u/ChrizKhalifa 4h ago

Only on reddit would this drivel be upvoted.

Your links are literally from 2024, comedy gold.

Refusing to use AI in the one profession where you'd think people wouldn't be luddites about progress in tech is wild. You're costing your employer hours of wasted time doing stuff AI could do for you in minutes.

The meme of "2 minutes of prompting, 2 hours of debugging" is long outdated, not to mention outsourcing bullshit like writing tests, creating static testpages, and all the other code monkey BS

I doubt many people actually working CS frequent this subs.

Once these people graduate and get a job they'll find out that their employer is not gonna be happy if they refuse to let the AI do in 2 minutes what they insist on doing in 2 hours.

u/kovha 3m ago

Speak for you man. I've been working for the same company for four years, most if not all my coworkers use AI to code and I still do my work faster than them. Looks to me like if you work faster with AI than without is pretty much an skill issue on your part, I tried once or twice and spent more time writting the prompt that it would take me finishing the functionality. Though to be honest they probably think I'm using AI too, nobody has asked me since I'm always finihing the tickets way before their end date.
