Google says 75% of the company's new code is AI-generated
The amount of code being created by AI at Google has grown as the company pushes staff to adopt coding assistants and agents.Hugh Langley (Business Insider)

I'm not changing phone ecosystems, as I enjoy having some marginal level of control over the hardware I fucking purchased. Search is fucking worthless; I've not used that in ages. DDG gets the job done without a screen and a half of ads and sponsored content.
Who the fuck puts up with this shit?

Also, as I have nearly run out of fucks to give: Fuck. And now I'm out of them again.

in reply to Chris Remington • • •*75% of code was written by people who were required to have an AI plug in installed.
Probably also having their usage tracked.
Also have had their work loads increased and their deadlines shortened.
And if they don’t hit the metrics and meet the shorter deadlines… they get fired.
I’m sure that’s a recipe for functional, well tested, efficient, and secure software. Definitely not creating a shit ton of technical debt.

in reply to megopie • • •And I guess engineers would be held responsible for the code produced by the AI agent's they're pressured to use.
So management can blame and fire more engineers when things go wrong.

in reply to Hirom • • •Here, use this tool it makes you fast and it only costs you not understanding what you ship.
But when the tool screws up and breaks things we'll blame you and not the tool.
We must go fast so you must use this tool.

in reply to Chris Remington • • •Is that a good metric??
Isn't this just stating that you're letting something with the coding ability of a toddler run amok through your product, having to constantly be bug-fixed by your remaining engineers?
This is exactly what Microsoft started doing, and its so far worked out terribly for them. Loads of their new software updates have had unacceptablely large bugs for even simple things like task manager!

in reply to ZoteTheMighty • • •I'm vibe coding a fairly complicated bash script to fully automate upgrading a web server at work. For context, I have over 2 decades experience in programming/data analytics/tech, but I'm a Linux and server admin newbie.
It's comically bad at it. Like, I had to tell it not to post passwords to the production database to console and plaintext log files. Then, about a dozen prompts later, it does it again. The restore script rm-ed things (as sudo) before checking that it had a valid backup file to replace it with. It keeps deleting the comments in the code snippets I send it to update/fix, even when explicitly told to keep the comments. I asked it to prepend time to live commands (i.e. not "dry run" echos), and then it deleted them all again when I asked it to refactor something unrelated.
It's been great learning for me, and I'm definitely getting this job done faster and to a higher quality than I could on my own, but holy hell these scripts would have been a disaster if someone just ran them "as is". I've needed to fix dozens of er

I wonder how often people go through their vibe coded outputs with the careful attention and care it needs. I'm guessing infrequently. LLMs are just word prediction machines; they don't understand anything.
