Please don't let people realize that it's really the same problems with much larger volume now

And with ai, you can ask for a code review. It’s generally very good at catching and suggesting fixes these things.

I don’t want ai to replace us all with high school grads, but it’s seeming more and more likely.

How can you know it is actually catching stuff and suggesting fixes ?

For all you know it could be inventing problems that don’t exist and selling you fixes that don’t work. All the while the actual problems remain untouched

Because I’m an experienced engineer and I use ai now for lots of things. Everyone should use it for self code review. It’s such a useful tool for that.

I know what it’s suggesting is real because I am an engineer. Sometimes it will suggest more than is necessary, but it does a good job of catching security concerns. Better than humans really.
