One of the reasons corporations adopted computers was that they never made mistakes and solved tasks quickly and reliably. None of that is true anymore if you add AI into your workflow.
rozodruit’s like adding an extra layer of user error. why would you want to do that? as a dev myself it’s like the bullshit middle managers/project managers and CTOs introduced a few years ago with “pair programming” or whatever it’s called. the intention was to speed up development time but in long run it just slowed you down. it was such a god damn dumb idea but was all the rave on the bullshit linkedin and tech bro blogs.
i’ve been in this industry long enough now to know the majority of tools and processes are created by people who don’t use said tools or processes.
Pair programming is kind of a weird thing to rail against. Sure, it would be terrible if it was mandated for everything, but there are many times it is a useful tool, especially for complex tasks where it is useful to talk through options as you go. Also invaluable for mentorship. I have regular sessions with juniors where we pair program on work tasks as a teaching tool.
