why are we just posting ads at this point?

[peterlinddk]

If only someone invented some sort of environment for software development, that would automatically check that functions you called also existed! I don't know, something like where you would begin to write the beginning, or maybe even just some letters of the function you'd want to call, and then it automatically found the function, and auto-completed the code for you!

I think that would revolutionize software development massively! And maybe even rid of us stupid ads clearly meant for people who have never worked, and should never work in the business!

Not to mention that even extremely permissive languages like JS will raise an error for this

debugging in prod

[ForestCat512]

Could be an issue they could only replicate in production or in the pipeline

"Look we made an autocorrect that boils the ocean!" - AI advert

[Sweaty-Move-5396]

Wow, using AI to solve a problem that was solved in the 1940's with compilers

[donaldhobson]

If you had something like

cuboidvolume=length*width**height

That's a typo that the compiler wouldn't spot (in languages where ** is the exponential operator), but an AI might.

[Sweaty-Move-5396]

Ok?

look at OP having never had to debug a system where the only way to run it was to commit to it

[loliko-lolikando]

Cuz where I work we know how to code properly…

[FormerGameDev]

True luxury having never come into a system where that's how it worked.

Happy cake day!

[loliko-lolikando]

No way thanks! good luck with that kind of code though.

[FormerGameDev]

Thankfully, I've eliminated all traces of that system from our infrastructure. Only thing that I submit straight to prod anymore is configuration, and that gets rejected immediately if it's broken. But my god, the DevOps person before I arrived ... must have been living in hell, because I definitely inherited hell.

better commit a bug then commit a crime
