I mean, sure - for you and I, who aren't qualified to write that specific code, maybe we can promot the electronic idiot to get there. Of course, neither we nor the electroic idiot knows where there is, and at best we will copy in exisitng better code that we should have imported from a library. So we gave up automated updates to avoid reading the manual pages.
In contrast, for domains I'm an expert in, babysitting the electric idiot is always a complete waste of time. I can just call the correct library, the correct way, on the first attempt.
Today's AI really highlights exisitng technical debt. If there's already a mountain of it, I can see how the learning model may help wrangle it, and how it may be hard to see the added costs.
Aren’t qualified? I mean… I’m qualified. You aren’t?
What “domains” are you an expert in?
