In my jobs there have slways been certain stule requirements to the code. AI doesn’t take those into account. So I would have to rework the code anyway. And of course there are the local libraries it know nothing about.
Fight technology with technology. I’m sure you can specify a style for it to generate, but we already run everything through a prettifier configured for what we look for …. Unless you mean a higher order like naming or architecture
Lol, the lead can’t spec the style, he just reviews the code and asks for changes. Sometimes it’s just that we already have a method that does a similar thing, so we should use it. Of course an AI wouldn’t know about that unless you gave it access to your code. And given how speed first AI companies are, I would never trust that data with them. But other times it’s just the leads personal preference.
I just had to transfer one of my guys out after frequent arguments to do that. I don’t understand - I point out a function that does exactly why he wants, yet he still wants to reinvent it.
I’m dreading when I come back after break. I got 50% a new junior guy who keeps saying he’s a great programmer. No sign of it so far but my management insists I take him on. All he needs to do is expose a new endpoint, wire up functionality that’s already there, and I walked him through it. Should be easy, right? No reinventing the wheel, right?
I do know the feel. I was young once (seems a long long time ago). Reinventing the wheel was fun and challenging. I loved creating libraries. I didn’t actually know at the time that there were already existing libraries I could just use, this was the 90s. But it is hard to keep track of what library code exists in a project if you didn’t write it. Maybe assign them to review the library code and document it or something. Then they will know what it is at least.
