- Praise: AI writes pretty good code nowadays, with a 95% chance of finding nothing that needs changing during manual reviews — that's a game changer for developers!
- Praise: The idea that an extra agentic review pass could eliminate the need for code reviews entirely is a bold vision for the future of automated development.
- Concern: Having an agent implement a feature completely backwards while passing tests highlights a critical flaw — even formal verification wouldn't catch such mistakes.
- Concern: Previous versions of models produced Potemkin tests that looked fine but executed no real code, showcasing a worrying failure mode in AI-generated outputs.
- Concern: The reliance on AI for code generation without proper oversight can lead to significant misalignments with intended business outcomes, raising serious concerns about trust.
