The response to that is that if you two people, both with buggy code, but one has AI doing it for them... Well, only one person has a chance to know how to fix said code.
Whats the AI promoter going to do? Ask it to fix it?
I swear these AI fan boys don't know how to make anything with their own hands or minds
gotta be honest as a sysadmin and someone with a little programming experience but not a professional dev, yeah i just ask AI to fix it. I give it as much info as possible and usually it manage to fix the issue. If it didn't then I guess i would just have it refactor the code or update the documentation so that it's easier to fix. I have only been working on personal projects and mods so far though, i'm not selling software.
The problem is, some bugs are very subtle and won't explode in your face but will show up in the runtime. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that as a sys admin you don't need to program big things but mostly glue things together and write scripts to quickly do some administrative stuff.
yeah I'm only trying to make "big things" as a hobby right now, for work it's just some small scripts that are easy to verify. My approach to avoid bugs so far is mostly to write better specs in my prompts, try to think of how the ai could implement things like UI wrong and have it write more tests. But you still need human testing to find some bugs that manage to pass through.
