Engineer Stops Reviewing AI-Generated Code
Santiago Valdarrama stopped reviewing AI-generated code two weeks ago and calls for new verification tools.
Santiago Valdarrama wrote that he is officially done reading AI-generated code after two weeks without looking at any. He stated the IDE is on its way to the graveyard because the job is no longer about writing code and new tools are needed. Bojan Tunguz wrote that humans auditing every line or most of AI-generated code is an impossible goal. He added that having one AI audit another has worked well for verification.

@svpino Agreed. What do you think humans should review instead? Even writing tests it goes off and writes like 70 tests and impossible to review all of them.
So many snarky comments here from people who are supposedly writing code so complex than modern models can’t write correctly. I’m not sure why is that a flex. Do you understand you are still typing gibberish like a caveman while the rest of us are making money by talking to a…
