The correct amount of AI generated code in your codebase is 0%. Or at the very least it’s what to strive for even if others screw you over

i’d be very interested to know what % of their current production codebase has never even once been viewed by a human

Going after the codebase with a rock hammer.

This isn't about the user-facing product "working well", though. This is about them not being able to fix their backend because they don't understand their own codebase anymore.
A completely different problem, in fact.

hey it's pretty great at fucking up a codebase over a year or two, doing scams & making CSAM.
Those are all good things. Right?

Case and point. Biggest project of my career wrapped up recently. Forced to use agents.
It took the team the exact same amount of time as without it and our codebase is the worse for it.

no generative AI art, only 0.1% of the codebase, and only at the end to get the worse bugs?
this is not a debate, they should be considered for the award

Seeing a codebase grow feels good, but taking a buzzsaw to it and shrinking it an order of magnitude, using the power of KNOWING BETTER? Girl that's sex

"AI is better at coding, claude code better than me" yeah well i don't know if you've noticed but since we put the slop machine in charge of codebase things are going worse and worse so i don't know if that's true.

love how every big software company is staffed with developers who don't understand the codebase. i'm sure this won't have any consequences down the line

Yknow it'd be funny if someone could reverse engineer and decompile sonic genesis on gba just to figure out what the hell is going on with it
I genuinely wonder how salvageable the codebase is

Like, how could anyone even dream of competing with them when Office has full access to the Windows codebase. It's why Office is less shit on Mac, because they're actually forced to compete there

honest to god i’d happily get claude to boil the atlantic away before i’d dare go spelunking in the unity codebase
what a complete and utter engineering failure on unity's part holy fucking shit

It took claude digging into the bluesky-social/atproto codebase to figure out wtf was going on and why I wasn't able to interact properly with this account unless I was following them.
This obviously isn't how moderation systems should work on the atmosphere.

big difference between securing a key and securing an entire codebase!

Humble Bundle's redesign isn't bad because they used AI, it's bad because they did a bad job with it. Building a list of needed functionality from an existing codebase and making sure they didn't miss anything is something AI is good at if you bother to do it.

Theyre not the first public company to lose control of their codebase but this is going to be the most famous teachable example for a long time.

Do you think they said "Chat-GPT, update the codebase" the same way Humble Bundle did their website?

Also just bc some misinterpreted I am saying it is very unlikely that there isn’t AI in the GTA 6 codebase as well as many other games big or small.
