The amount of code being created by AI at Google has grown as the company pushes staff to adopt coding assistants and agents.

    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!

      Most of my code is ai generated - but I have to carefully review everything because it ofte makes poor decisions.

    internet is going to collapse under rampant cybercrime at some point, all the slopcode will have everything so broken and vulnerable hackers will have choiceparalyze.

    I’m convinced that is a generated metric that is far away from reality. the objective is too make their product seem better than it is

    *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.

      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.

    Man Gemini sucks. They force replaced assistant with Gemini for me.

    “Hey google, play my rock playlist”

    “You dont have a rock Playlist on youtube music”

    “Hey google play rock Playlist on spotify”

    “You dont have “rock Playlist on Spotify” on youtube music”

    We call this fucking progress?

    I know its barely related to the post. Just fuck Google and fuck their ai
