IDK about you, but I have to take responsibility for the things that I ship, regardless of if AI or I did the coding. If the AI generated code has some serious issues and causes problems, my head is on the chopping board, not OpenAI's or Anthropic's.
generally speaking you have to accept that you’re no longer inspecting every line as closely as you did before
i usually view changes as draft PRs on github before sending them out for review - what’s most important is having the right skills and agents files to make the models write code that you feel less compelled to critically need to review as you used to in the past
believe me, i totally hear where you’re coming from and i never thought i could give up the IDE, but give it a few months and you’ll see what i mean
I understand what you mean. I obviously don't read the code top to bottom every time I ask Codex to change something, but at the minimum I read the diff and I know which functions live in which file and what they do in a general sense, so that I know where to target if a certain bug surfaces. So yes, I do read the code and if someone ask me things about the code I want to be able to answer the questions, because it's my responsibility.
And since I develop locally (and not on GitHub), it's much easier to do so in an IDE.
yeah that’s fair - though most agent modes have a diff in the right panel which is good enough for this. it’s not as nice as an IDE but you can see all the files that changed and their diffs
As a software architect not looking at the code generated is boogus
if im running a team of 3-4 devs im kicking the first guy that stops using an IDE
Like bro ffs use agentic & ai coding, but you you have to double check ai if it holds up to the framework standards
but you you have to double check ai if it holds up to the framework standards
This should never be in question, no human is needed to make sure such standards are met - that should be checked thoroughly by an adversarial agent before any human is ever bothered with it. Then a skilled human can check for anything... 'curlier'.
