AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds
(futurism.com)
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
One of the guys at my old job submitted a PR with tests that basically just mocked everything, tested nothing. Like,
Except for a few dozen lines, with names that made it look like they were doing useful.
He used AI to generate them, of course. Pretty useless.
We have had guys submit tests like that, long before AI was a thing.
At least in those situations, the person writing the tests knows they're not testing anything...
Some do, some don't, but more importantly: most just don't care.
I had a tester wander into a set of edge cases which weren't 100% properly handled and their first reaction was "gee, maybe I didn't see that, it sounds like I'm going to have a lot more work because I did."
True, I do feel mocked by this code.
