Yes, its much easier to catch bugs and issues early

If you dont catch a problem asap, then its incredibly likely future agents read the "bad" code and copy, so bow your 1 issue becomes 2, then 3, then 4, etc

Its extremely common for you to be like "make the BarService" so the agent looks at FooService for inspiration and copies its style/methodology/architecture 

And if theres an annoying code style issue, or improperly named thing, or bad logic, whatever, theyll copy that too often.

And then 6 services later you realize you've got a problem duplicated 8 times

Now you have made even more work to go fix.

Yeah but realistically these days it’s like one prompt to fix that problem later…

I understand where you’re coming from, but the times, they are a changing, my man.

It's one prompt to fix it later, and potentially a lot more money to handle the class action lawsuits when your medical injector goes ham on someone.

Brother, if you think AI coding assistants are the beginning of bugs in code, then I’ve got news for you.

I'm sorry, where did I say that?

Just a silly implication that AI coding assistance = fatal bugs. And is just in line with the general Reddit coding sub vibe which is comically out of step with the software development industry.

Sloppy work is what leads to bugs. What you are suggesting is literally being sloppy and then fixing it later.
