Using AI to write better code more slowly

A lot of people seem convinced that the point of AI coding is to write low-quality code as fast as possible. Spew out barely-passable slop, open massive PRs, and merge them unvetted. Ship it! But t…

Read the Tea Leaves

This is going to gain me some unfollows, or at the very least some side-eye/eye-roll looks.

The more I use #LLM tools in my day to day, the more I like them. Not to #VibeCode, but to use them as an actual #assistant.

I already wrote a couple of #automations for my team to improve our workflows and improve #consistency and #quality. One we are all actively using to interact with Jira, by following our team standards when writing epics, stories, spikes etc., as I said, it helps keep the content consistent and aligned.

I am also working on an automation for me that could eventually become another team-wide one that gives me a high-level status of all my pull requests, pending #CodeReviews, issue status, etc. and gives me a brief paragraph with how my day is going and recommends what should be my focus (based on the given priorities).

Do I need LLMs for this? No, but as a good engineer, the less I have to worry about some things, the more bandwidth I have to worry about other important things.

Could I do something like this with standard scripting? Most of it yes, but there is a very nice result of using LLMs that would be extremely hard or time consuming with standard tools; they are especially good at adapting to small edge cases and unforeseen or unimplemented features.

I also have to say I am not a stranger to vibe coding. I've done it, and I really like it for those little personal scripts and one-offs that used to take so long with so little gains.

Anyway, if you want to unfollow, block or just eye-roll me, I won't hold it against you.

Let's acknowledge that gap in AI-generated code between code that works and code that is production-ready. It's you.

Discover how #Meta improved #SoftwareQuality with a Just-in-Time (JiT) testing approach that dynamically generates tests during code review.

The system increases bug detection by approx 4x in AI-assisted development using LLMs, mutation testing, and intent-aware workflows like Dodgy Diff.
