New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI - Lemmy.World

According to the release: >Adds experimental PostgreSQL support >The code was written by Cursor and Claude >14,997 added lines of code, and 10,202 lines removed >reviewed and heavily tested over 2-3 weeks This makes me a bit uneasy, especially as ntfy is an internet facing service. Am I overreacting or do you all share the same concern?

I’d run for the hills

There are so many issues with AI

Like ppl thinking skilled engineers cannot vet AI output. AI is pretty good for programming.
It’s not. That’s the problem. It actually sucks ass. It’s super low quality for anything more complex they s very simple CRUD app or a simple function. I say this as someone who s a heavy LLM user. It’s just bad code. It makes all kinds of simple mistakes. Just because code compiles doesn’t mean it’s good or does what you need it to do
I think it largely depends on what you’re building. You’re not gonna get build a company overnight with a few prompts but it’s much more powerful than you’ve described.
It’s really not though. If you think it is I really suggest to re-think your perspective on what maintainable shippable code looks like. It’s basically automating copying from stack overflow. There’s so many little considerations that come into development.
Still sounds like something someone would say who has had a bad time and experience with generating code lol. It really isn’t that hard to be an engineer and to get what you want out of code generation.
